When I stopped drinking 21 years ago, I initially had to change what music I listened to. I had drinking associations with all of my music. So, I bought a CD player (they had just come out), and whenever I wanted to buy a bottle of whiskey, I would buy a CD instead. But it had to be of music with which I was unfamiliar. The two largest gaps in my musical knowledge were in with medieval/renaissance music, and international music. At some point, I came across Maria Bethania; this was the first album of hers I owned. I listened to her collaboration with Jeanne Moreau of Poema dos olhos da amada over and over again.
I found the song I mentioned on Youtube:
Here it is.
I'm happy to hear that Maria Bethania's music helped you through the process of stopping to drink.thanks for the link, it is beautiful
