Also I’d like to say, I get that keeping busy, very early on my mind barked at the idea of drinking, for a good month. I was doing all kinds of goofy shit lol. I was discovering who I was, and wasnt, while not drinking/attempting sobriety, so I get it. Keep us posted! We want to see what your keeping busy with!

@Billy85 Very nice work! I imagine you must feel a lot of satisfaction when you finish a project.

@Ray_M_C_Laren That is a fantastic collection of instruments!

@CharlesRumble I love the Cello. There’s something very soothing about the deep sound it gives out.

Close. The Ibanez is correct. The white one is a Mitchell and the middle one is an 85 Heritage Eagle it’s my pride and joy (also my emergency pawn item) but I hope it never comes to that.

If you have an iPhone (android works too but you’ll need to get Amplitube) and want to add a ton of voicings to your keys and bass you can pick up an iRig HD 2 ($99USD) and run it through GarageBand and Tonebridge both totally free. Cable out from the instrument, into the irig, out to the amp and there’s a micro usb to lightning wire/USB-C. It’s seamless.

I have always wanted to try karaoke because I can carry a tune. Now that I’m sober, I doubt that day will ever come. Too chicken.

Fellow sax player here!

I used to think meth use enhanced creativity. Recently ive noticed that my creative side tends to hide itself when im high. Now that ive had fifty something days clean ive really gotten some cool projects done.
First i painted a bird house. One ive owned for and been talking about painting for two years. It was just sitting in my closet all this time till i got clean. Next i painted my bathroom and painted a rose on my bedroom door and used real rocks to make the vase. Ive been collecting rocks for nearly three years and always talked of creating art with them but never actually put my plans into action.
I also recently started to make videos and put them up on social media platforms like tictock and facebook reels. Some of the photos i made slides with are beautiful pictures that just sat un noticed on my phone for months. Again, i always talked about turning them into slides and sharing them but i never did till i got clean.
Now that halloween is aproaching i got a job ( first time ive worked in ten years other than dealing drugs or working the local jail kitchen). My job is at a halloween store so i get to dress up for work. Ive discovered I’m pretty good at face painting.
In the past few years the only times i can remeber my creativity flowing is when i was in jail. While locked up and sober i made all my commissary by either doing intricate hair braiding and by drawing greeting cards and writing poetry ( and smut stories).
Id love to share some images of my art but i guess new users are not permitted to do.so
