HOW ART & EXPRESSION HELP US FEEL AGAIN

For decades red wine was part of my existence and a tradition.

And when I first gave up my tradition, I thought I was just removing something from my life.

What I didn't realize was how much I had been using it to avoid feeling, to mute the hard emotions, to smooth over the sharp edges of life.

Sobriety didn't just take away my numbing agent; it left me standing face to face with eveything I had been trying to escape.

But here is what I've learned: when we stop drowning out our emotions, we make space for something else- CREATION

The act of creating, whether it's writing freely without overthinking, or painting with colors that don't have to "mean" anything,, allows us to access the emotions you've pushed aside.

It's an invitation to let what's inside of us flow out, without judgment.

When we create with honesty, without worrying about the outcome, we tap into something deeper than words.

Art, in any form, becomes the bridge for healing. It isnt just about understanding our pain, it's about moving through it.

It helps us not just to remember who we were before we numbed ourselves, but to become someone even more whole- someone who feels everything and still chooses to create.

If you;re navigating life after alcohol, or wonder about it, I encourage you to create.

Let it be messy. Let it be real. Let it be healing. Because in the act of creating, you just might find yourself again..
