We recover so we can live life instead of sleepwalking through it. Developing our talents and interests is an important part of finding what we can pack into the stream of living.
Ever wondered how creativity can enhance your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas welcome musician and songwriter Alan Smith to share his unique experience. Alan, who has many years of recovery under his belt, opens up about how songwriting and music-making have become essential parts of his life.
He discusses how these creative outlets not only bring him joy but also help him actively participate in life, rather than just going through the motions. Alan's deeply moving recovery song, 'Still Need Love', and his lighthearted tune, 'No Use Waitin’ for Jesus', are central to the conversation. The episode delves into the importance of developing talents and interests during recovery, highlighting the challenges faced by those affected by addiction.
Through Alan's story, listeners gain insight into how creative expression can serve as a powerful tool for spiritual growth and healing. Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply curious about the intersection of creativity and spirituality, this episode offers a fresh perspective on living a fulfilling life.
