Recovery and creativity demand that we have a connection with our inner life. Something shifts when we get into recovery. We learn to walk through the darkness rather than camp out in it. We come out on the other side into a new experience of light.

Michelle Vargas sit down with Leonard Buschel, the founder of Writers in Treatment, the Reel Recovery Film Festival, and Recovery/Addiction eBulletin. Leonard shares his personal battle with addiction and how tapping into creativity became a cornerstone of his healing journey.
Leonard talks about the transformative power of writing and journaling, revealing how these practices help people in recovery process their emotions and experiences. He emphasizes that creativity isn’t just a hobby; it’s a lifeline that can help you connect with your inner self and navigate through the darkness. The conversation also touches on the importance of honoring traditions and ancestors, providing a sense of grounding and connection that can be crucial in recovery.
Leonard's insights into the effectiveness of self-driven recovery efforts and community support offer valuable perspectives for anyone on this journey. With practical advice and inspiring stories, this episode is a treasure trove for those in recovery, their families, or anyone interested in the intersection of creativity and healing. Tune in to discover how embracing your creative side can illuminate your path to recovery.
