Your story adds way more texture to the imagery… i want to share that you are doing painterly / self-care work right now, simply by being present with your recovery & pausing on any substance use… One accidental renaissance at a time.

(Meet a westcoastod - died 3x in 1 day, former injection user - was out for 20yrs, have some sober time under the belt now… art & music therapy, recovery meetings, the steps, nature, helping others, etc all help me today.)

Both phone and TV time are very limited, but I’m glad this place recognizes the importance of staying in touch with friends & family while you’re away for 30+ days.
