Alone time

Good day community,

About twelve years ago now, I collaborated with a small group of artists to explore the idea of anonymity, privacy and the like. Our art took the form of a simple yet attractive box that people could stick their head in order to simulate privacy, in the midst of a collection of similar boxes with other people similarly engaged. This performance based conceptual art was fun and somewhat tongue in cheek. Now as I approach some new phase in my approach to addiction. I am reminded of that simple concept and my current fluctuation between a need for the companionship of my loved ones and my desire for privacy and solace.

Respectfully,

Hoondog

I think I get that. Balance in my life is crucial to me, and alone time is one of the things I need to have on a pretty regular basis.

Hoondog, your art concept really made me smile. Made me remember how many times I "tried to do it alone..." and how much easier & more enjoyable getting sober is when surrounded by those without their head in a box!
