Instagram post 2334486694735088959_7355221419 Featured Artist for Recovery: Tanya She shared her art and story with us at the #ArtinRecovery event last year. She does a variety of art, including graphic design, tee shirt designs, paint schemes for race cars and more. Tanya likes to be unique and different in her work. She goes by the name 'Lasing Creations' because no one has what she has. Tanya would like to do art full time. Her advice for someone just starting out is to keep going for it. Her late brother pushed her to reach her goals. Are you an #ArtistInRecovery? Who and what inspires you?

Instagram post 2330756408910165180_7355221419 When I first got into recovery I had three guidelines for spiritual practice: 1) Do it every day, at the same time. 2) Do it no matter what you are feeling. 3) Make it about the process not the product. My spiritual practice changed throughout the years. For a long time it consisted of writing three pages in the morning (Julia Cameron’s “morning pages” from her book The Artist's Way are a daily practice for many recovering people) and meditating every evening. Then it evolved into daily art/collage in my journal and movement as a meditation practice. Just like recovery, my spiritual practice had to evolve with me. This is the practice: coming back to that self, again and again, for as long as it takes. By Linda Shanti McCabe, MA, PsyD

Working on yourself doesn’t happen overnight.” #ArtInRecovery @harlemunitednyc

Instagram post 2326390811170665833_7355221419 WHO SHOULD TRY ART THERAPY Art therapy is a great choice for anyone struggling with substance abuse or mental health issues. Art therapy can help people of all ages who are recovering find new ways to express themselves. This therapeutic technique is very flexible, which makes it a great tool both for people just starting out their journey to recovery and for people looking to make new connections as they move into a life free from drugs and alcohol. Art therapy is especially good for people who have trouble communicating with traditional methods like speaking or writing. Art gives them a voice where they feel they may lack it in other aspects of their life. #ArtTherapy

Instagram post 2323454585828437201_7355221419 Paul Miller, a former professional photographer and poet, was working as a part-time security guard when he had a stroke. When numbness in his right arm and leg started, he drove himself to the nearby emergency room. There, it was confirmed—he was having a stroke. Linda Odom, the director of Creative Connections, motivated his creative spirit and helped him find a new love for painting. Now, back at home, Paul continues to paint. He was recently surprised by his daughters at an art studio to celebrate his 80th birthday. #ArtForRecovery #ArtHeals
