Episode 62: Creativity and Sobriety with Stephanie Weaver

In this episode, Jessica Libor, the host of the Inspired Painter Podcast, sits down with Stephanie Weaver, artist and artist coach, to talk about sobriety, addiction and substance dependence in the life of an artist. As Stephanie shares her own journey to sobriety, we talk about what may lead a person to become dependent on a substance, understanding the emotional process of addiction, how artists may be vulnerable to falling into addiction, and signs you may be experiencing an addiction. We also go over how to get help, find your "why" in recovery, and alternate ways to achieve a more natural "high" instead of turning to substances. If you have ever wondered "Am I addicted?" to alcohol, drugs, your phone, or anything else, this podcast episode may be helpful to you!
