Finding Freedom Through Art: Sarah Bolton's Journey in Addiction Recovery

If there was a theme in my life, it would be that, quite literally, everything dark and hard and scary and broken has burned something beautiful, every single one of those things, every single one.
Imagine using crayons and markers to process your emotions. Sounds unconventional, right? Well, that's exactly what Sarah Bolton, Founder & Artist of Sarah Lenee Creative & Consulting LLC, encourages in her approach to addiction recovery. In this episode of Positive Recovery MD, hosted by Dr. Jason Powers, Sarah shares her inspiring journey from addiction to sobriety and how creativity played a pivotal role in her healing process.
Sarah is not just an artist; she's a mom, an event planner, and a passionate advocate for addiction recovery. Since 2016, she has been working as a Mindful Art Facilitator in residential treatment centers, helping individuals explore their inner worlds through creative expression. She's also the brain behind Sober Eve, Houston’s only alcohol-free New Year’s Eve pop-up nightclub, offering a safe and fun environment for those in recovery.
During the conversation, Sarah opens up about how she found freedom from addiction by embracing her faith and tapping into her creative side. She discusses the importance of addressing childhood wounds and how curiosity and creativity can lead to profound healing. Sarah even leads a coloring session during the episode, inviting listeners to engage in this therapeutic activity and discover more about their inner selves.
This episode isn't just about art; it's about understanding that addiction can take many forms beyond substance abuse, including food addiction. Sarah's story is a testament to the transformative power of creativity and its ability to foster a supportive environment for those on their recovery journey. Her events and workshops offer a beacon of hope and a sense of community for anyone navigating the challenges of addiction.
