Two New Resources For Spiritual Fitness

Recovering Alcoholics, Addicts, and Their Family Members Are Finding Listening To Recovery Music Helps Them Stay Spiritually Fit Throughout the Day

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) August 7, 2006 - Recovering alcoholics, addicts, and their family members are discovering the value of listening to "recovery music" as a tool for staying spiritually fit, evidenced by a steady growth in CD sales at SunlightOfTheSpiritMusic.com.

"Recovery Music is a category of music encompassing all genres, in which the lyrics often contain a spiritual message or share experience, strength, and hope from alcoholism and other addictions," says Gracie Vandiver, founder of Sunlight Of The Spirit Music. She adds, "Music has a way of communicating with the soul. And recovery music is a great new tool for staying spiritually aligned throughout the day."

Known among the recovery community for its diverse selection, SunlightOfTheSpiritMusic.com specializes in 12-step and recovery music, with the largest selection available under one roof. To hear music samples and read about each artist, visit http://www.SunlightOfTheSpiritMusic.com.

Another popular new resource is the Sober Café Podcast. Created in June, 2006, the Sober Café Podcast is a weekly podcast of music from artists in recovery. The show also offers rare interviews with artists who have created recovery music CDs, sharing experience, strength, hope, and some great tunes.

The podcast closes each show with its theme song, "Chance To Start Over," written by Gracie Vandiver and Sonia Lee. Its uplifting message is a reminder of the strength of the human spirit:

I was chasing my dreams with each drink that went down

It's like chasing a train that's mile out of town

Picturing far away lands in my head

But I never got past the edge of my bed

Until I finally gave up the fight

Sweet surrender gave me back my life

Chorus:

Each moment holds a chance to start over

Even if you only say the smallest prayer

It's not the falling down that makes us fail

It's the staying there.

In the iTunes podcast directory, listener Rick Hamilton writes, "The music inspires me, and reaches deep into my mind and soul with positive inspiration. I am very grateful to all of the artists for creating this for us to enjoy." Another listener writes, "So nice to hear music centered on recovery, especially during hectic travel. It helps bring me 'back home.'"
