I can say yes to all 3 questions. A lot of my music connects me to God when nothing else does. The words often say what I can't. As long I continue to turn my will over to God with or without music I know I won't relapse. Sometimes it is just a fun thing I like to share with others. It is not unusual for me to lean back with music on, looking at my pic of Jesus and serenity prayer and focus on my lighthouses. It is very calming.
