Thank you for the support AdamAnt and seedling. I haven't worked on either projects yet but plan too. I just listened to music the other day as it used to make me feel like drinking and disappearing and I really enjoyed it without the tick, tick of get wine in my mind lol, addictions are so strange... they seem to filter down into the simple things in ones world and ruin them.
I have two paintings in a store and have many people interested in buying them....They are one of a kind so I need to make sure I get a fair price for them. I was supposed to go and see the owner to discuss it but have been putting it off... one day at a time I guess. Painting makes me feel like drinking so I am waiting a little longer before picking up the brush, just to be safe, trying to follow my instincts and know my boundaries.
A friend is reading my novel and I need to get that back so I can reread a little and continue the second book. Writing doesn't make me want to drink so I am really looking forward to that. I do tend to get lost a little when I write, possible disassociation.... writing tends to consume me and I often have insomnia when I am in full writing mode lol, ahhh it's never easy haha. Having PTSD and being an artist seems like it is a natural fit lol.
I am still getting used to the site, I like the new changes for sure. Thank you again for you kind words and inquiry.
Peace to all.
