The power of language that people can be like. It's really interesting how the truths about our own selves, like the fact that Antwan does not drink, can play a role in the characters we create as artists and creatives.
Ever thought about how your choice to go alcohol-free might shape your creativity? In this episode of 'CLEARHEADED: your sober-care podcast', host Cait Madry chats with Antoine Wilson, the acclaimed author of 'Mouth to Mouth', which made it to Obama's summer reading list and was named one of the best books of 2022 by Vogue, Esquire, and NPR.
Antoine, who hasn't had a drink in over a decade, opens up about his journey into the 'sober curious' space and how it has influenced his writing. Antoine's latest novel features a non-drinking narrator, reflecting his own life choices. The conversation dives into how removing alcohol can open up new avenues for creativity and self-expression. They discuss the significance of language in the early stages of sobriety and how finding the right words can create a judgment-free space for self-discovery.
Listeners get a chance to ask questions around the 37-minute mark, making this episode interactive and engaging. Antoine also shares his self-care routines that support his sobriety, including seeking altered states through creativity rather than substances. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about how sobriety can impact artistic pursuits and personal growth. It's not just about quitting alcohol; it's about discovering new ways to thrive creatively.
