Ep 25: Choosing Clarity: Becoming Sober as an Artist

This week on the Deep Rooted Healing podcast, I open up about my decision to become sober after 20 years of drinking alcohol. I share my vulnerable story about it, how it impacted me over those many years, why I would use it, why I decided to stop, all of the intense inner resistance I met when I started to look at my relationship to it and what gifts have been coming through the clarity within my art practice and my life.  Recovery Dharma is a sobriety group that focuses on Buddhist teachings. https://recoverydharma.org/. They offer virtual and in-person meeting all around the United States.  The Creative Sober podcast is a great resource to listen to artists stories with sobriety.   ---- Emma Freeman is an artist, writer, Licensed Massage Therapist and Reiki Practitioner.
