Imagine finding your creative spark again after years of struggle. In this episode of 'Liars, Thieves, Gluttons, and Whores', hosts Nanci Adair and Mariana Casagranda chat about their recent interview with glass artist David Jacobson. The conversation kicks off with Nanci introducing Season 3's focus on artists in recovery, expressing her gratitude to Mariana for connecting them with David.
They dive into the idea of 'ageless vitality', sharing their own secrets to feeling vibrant in their late 60s—through diet, exercise, sleep, and sobriety. David's story is particularly inspiring; at 71, he feels more alive than ever, proving that creativity knows no age limit. Nanci and Mariana discuss how recovery has reignited their own artistic passions. Nanci shares her fear of losing her drawing ability early in sobriety and how she found a new love in fiber arts like quilting.
David's experience mirrors this—he waited seven years in sobriety before returning to his true passion, glassblowing. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how art and recovery can intertwine to offer endless avenues for expression and fulfillment. It's about finding joy and purpose at any age, and the power of community and support in the recovery journey. So, if you're curious about how creativity can flourish even in the face of addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
