I want to share my story so bad to so many different people, and I do it through art, but it's like I don't want to just shove my story down people's throats.
What if the canvas could speak your deepest struggles? In this episode of 'The Truth About Addiction', host Ron Isherwood chats with artist Chris Sellers, whose life story is as vivid as his art. Chris started drinking at 15, believing alcohol was the fix for every problem. His reliance on booze led him down a dark path, culminating in a second DUI and a stint in jail.
It was behind bars that Chris rediscovered his passion for art, using it as an outlet to process his emotions and envision a sober future. Chris' artwork isn't just beautiful; it's a raw portrayal of themes like substance abuse and male depression. Each piece is a testament to his journey, capturing the turmoil and triumphs of his recovery.
In this candid conversation, Chris opens up about how art therapy played a crucial role in his sobriety, the daily battles of staying clean, and the ripple effects of addiction on his family and relationships. For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Chris' story offers a beacon of hope. His transformation from an alcohol-dependent teen to a sober, expressive artist underscores the power of finding a healthy outlet for one's struggles.
Tune in to hear how Chris turned his life around, one brushstroke at a time.
