One program is called making amends with your muse, just as we make amends with our family members, our jobs. My piano doesn't care if I'm playing poorly one day.
What happens when a talented artist loses his way but finds a path back through recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery Survey', Skip Sams shares his incredible journey of overcoming crystal meth addiction, alcoholism, bipolar disorder, and an HIV diagnosis. With over 16 years of sobriety, Skip has transformed his life and now dedicates himself to helping other musicians and performing artists who struggle with their creativity due to substance use.
Skip’s story isn’t just about kicking habits; it’s about rediscovering one's inner light and creative spark. He talks about the importance of doing recovery for oneself and how no one can force another person to get sober. It’s a deeply personal mission that has driven him to support others in reclaiming their technical skills and reconnecting with their muse. Skip’s approach to recovery emphasizes service to others.
By helping fellow artists, he finds not only a sense of purpose but also personal healing. Making amends with his creative self has been a pivotal part of his journey, proving that nurturing creativity can be a powerful tool in rebuilding a life affected by addiction. If you’re curious about how creativity and recovery intertwine, or if you need a dose of inspiration, Skip's story is a must-listen.
His experiences highlight the transformative power of self-discovery, service, and artistic expression in the recovery process.
