I really had to go to hell to come back, and I know I hear a lot of people saying that.
Picture this: an artist battling body dysmorphia and low self-worth, facing a life-altering medical diagnosis, and receiving a family ultimatum to get help or be left behind. This is the gripping story of Manny Minnie, an artist from Temecula, CA, who shares his raw and inspiring journey to sobriety in Episode 7 of 'Creative Sobriety', hosted by Kristen Bear.
Manny's sober date is 6/13/20, marking the beginning of a transformative path filled with AA meetings and painting sessions that saved his life. Manny opens up about how addiction took hold of him, fueled by his struggles with body image and self-esteem. When his health started to deteriorate, his family stepped in with a tough love approach that forced him to confront his demons.
This pivotal moment led Manny to immerse himself in the supportive environment of AA meetings and find solace in his art. Painting became more than just a hobby; it was a lifeline that helped him navigate the choppy waters of recovery. In this episode, Manny also discusses his journey to spirituality. Once feeling like he was living for darkness, he now finds purpose in serving others and living for God.
His story is a testament to the transformative power of sobriety, creativity, and community support. Manny's passion for art, especially sacred geometry, allows him to express his soul and connect with others on a deeper level. For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Manny's story offers hope and inspiration. It's a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is a path to light through connection, creativity, and unwavering support.
Tune in to hear Manny's remarkable journey and discover how he turned his life around with the help of AA meetings and his artistic talents.
