There are a lot of ways to be quite creative while living a sober life. Seek out your options and see what works for you. While I just passed the 4 month mark on sobriety, I've found that through doing service work, it's a creative outlet for me that can aid in keeping me sane and sober. I like to work with those who have less sobriety than me and to encourage them that there is a good life out there. The activities I do are small - providing much needed items to those who are in rehab, but can't get out to make such purchases for items such as reading glasses or small articles of clothing. However, at the end of the day, I feel a bit better in that I made a difference in someone's life and hopefully they were able to enjoy another day of sobriety too.
