Creativity in recovery<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I have come into my strength<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And words obey my call.   W.B. Yeats.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to popular belief, alcohol and drug use is less beneficial to creativity than recovery from addiction. Remarkable work has been produced under the influence of drugs, but usually it is the illusion of creativity, rather than works of true genius. Frustrated talent is the most common result of addiction, but when the stress and chaos of active drug use ceases, creativity bursts out. This can be used to process our feelings of loss, shame and guilt as well as making life more fulfilling and meaningful. Am I ready to explore my creativity?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creativity<\/strong> <\/strong>takes<\/strong> <\/strong>us<\/strong> <\/strong>away<\/strong> <\/strong>from<\/strong> <\/strong>daily life<\/strong> <\/strong>towards<\/strong> <\/strong>the<\/strong> <\/strong>spiritual side \u2013 there is something miraculous about a work of art.<\/strong> <\/strong>Truly<\/strong> great art makes us think differently and thus act differently.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remembering that the best I have done <\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was done to make it plain.   W.B. Yeats.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It gives us new ideas and new ways of seeing things. Spirituality does the same. Today I ask God to open my mind to the idea of creativity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
