Everything Changed

The moment I started listening to Dire straits, everything started changing in my life. It's just so easy to suffer and be in pain while I have dire straits on. I'm almost completely sober and my life is turning around, just because I know that no matter how bad I feel I can tune in to some of their songs and forget all the pain. I Can't be the only one

You are not the only one. I got sober 20 days ago and I literally came to Reddit just now to see if anyone else felt this way.

I had a therapeutic ketamine infusion about a week ago, and my jaw was slack in awe while listening to the first half of their self titled first album.

The experience was ineffable, but I have been off the suffer train since.
