Alison Moncrieff: Art, Relapse, and Recovery on The Unruffled Podcast

Creativity is a way to tether oneself to something and keep one's word, which is something I didn't do when I was drinking.
What happens when creativity becomes a lifeline in recovery? In this episode of 'The Unruffled Podcast', hosts Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas sit down with Alison Moncrieff, a poet, visual artist, and seamstress. Alison opens up about her journey through relapse and how she found her artistic voice through her 100 Day Project, #100daysofpaintingonpeetsbags. From painting on coffee bags to hiking, meditation, and gratitude lists, Alison shares her unique tools for maintaining sobriety.
She dives into the importance of personal iconography and how it serves as a reminder of who we are. This conversation isn't just about art; it's about finding stability and self-worth through creative expression. Alison's story is a testament to the power of creativity in filling the void left by addiction. Tune in for an inspiring and heartfelt discussion that will leave you thinking about the role of creativity in your own life.
