Finding Your Inner Artist: Creativity and Recovery in Episode 4 of The Unruffled Podcast
“Sobriety delivers what alcohol promised. We get to actually be the person in sobriety that we wanted to be when we were drinking. Don’t compare your beginnings to someone else’s.”
Imagine quitting alcohol and finding yourself staring at a void, unsure how to fill it. That's where Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas come in with Episode 4 of The Unruffled Podcast. Tackling the common belief that 'I'm not creative', they hand out permission slips for everyone to call themselves artists, makers, or writers. It's a refreshing take on recovery, focusing on how creativity can fill the gaps left by addiction.
The hosts share a wealth of ideas to get started, from Austin Kleon's book 'Steal Like an Artist' to Lisa Congdon's Creative Bug drawing classes. They emphasize that sobriety allows you to become the person you always wanted to be, minus the alcohol. Sondra and Tammi also share their top tools for blending creativity with recovery, like thrifting as therapy and must-listen podcasts.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a newbie, this episode is packed with inspiration to help you kickstart your creative journey in sobriety.
