Episode 10: The Power Of Not

James Victore
About this episode

 If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coaching

Ever wondered how the allure of alcohol can be so overpowering even for a high-functioning individual?

 Join me as I share the raw and personal journey of grappling with the potent pull of alcohol and the relentless effort to maintain sobriety. By tapping into personal anecdotes, I'll uncover the finite nature of willpower and the constant vigilance required to resist temptations. Balancing the challenges of sobriety with parenting and striving for a healthy lifestyle can be daunting, yet through redirecting focus, embracing creative outlets, and adopting stoic philosophy, we can find ways to navigate the daily battles of addiction and aim for a healthier, more fulfilling life.

But that's not all! Celebrate a milestone of over a hundred weeks of sobriety with me as I introduce a transformative art venture, "For External Use Only." This project gives new life to wine and champagne bottles, turning them into hand-painted, unique narratives of change and innovation. I'll share insights gained from an intriguing Design Thinking and Unthinking class, showcasing how these themes foster personal growth and artistic expression. Whether you're curious about creative transformation or the nuances of overcoming addiction, this episode promises a compelling exploration of both.
