Arts and creative outlets?

Hi guys!
I was wondering if anyone here did anything creative in early recovery to help them stay distracted? I’m thinking of things along the lines of knitting but I tend to get frustrated easily :wink:

Check out the thread titled The Art of Sobriety. There’s some pretty good stuff there.

@Smirkeygayze I like sewing! Creating costumes is something I love doing. I will be posting pics from bay to breakers this year (an annual run in SF). We’re all going as Sesame Street characters. :runner:

@Elisabeth I’d like a peacock hat to strut around in. What Sesame character are you going to be?
