I think everybody should do something in their life that's artful, and they don't have to be good at it, in fact, don't even try to be good at it.
Ever thought about how art can play a role in recovery? In this engaging episode of 'No Thanks But Yes', Donald McDonald chats with Alex Rosenberg, a talented Philly artist and teacher who’s in his fourth year of sustained recovery. Alex, who you might recognize from Netflix's 'Blown Away', shares his journey of overcoming addiction and finding joy in creative pursuits.
With a light-hearted tone, Alex opens up about his experiences on reality TV and how they've shaped his path to sobriety. He’s a firm believer that everyone should try their hand at something artistic, not for perfection, but for the sheer joy of it. 'I think everybody should do something in their life that's artful, and they don't have to be good at it, in fact, don't even try to be good at it,' he says.
The episode dives into themes of self-trust, the role of service in recovery, and the importance of embracing imperfections. Alex’s cat, Søren, even makes a playful appearance, adding a touch of humor to the conversation. Whether you're navigating your own recovery journey or supporting someone else, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on finding fulfillment through creativity and self-acceptance.
