The Artist's Way

Sometimes I forget, but one reason I got into AA was The Artist's Way, a 12-step program for stagnating/frustrated artists by Julia Cameron.

The basic premise is that our nature inclination is to create, and that to be one with God we have to get off our asses and do the art.

I think that's a bit of what this site is about. It's gratitude; it's sharing; but by writing, it becomes an act of art. The blog lives, and it's helping me to live a bit easier.

I'm grateful for anything that can do that.

I feel the same way. This blog is about being sober and being grateful and (for me anyway) it's about being free. Free to say and to write and explore gratitude and my sobriety in new ways. And freedom (any kind of freedom, but paticularly freedom to be ourselves) is wicked cool
