In the final collage you posted, the word "Believe" caught my eye, as it should.

PJ, never ever stop believing in yourself, your recovery and your talent for bringing art and joy to the world.

Your art is awesome, so are you! I'm cheering you on as always.

Hugs

Thank you so much being here and sharing so much of yourself with us, PJ.
Your story is really one of the more inspiring recovery stories I have ever heard. Your artwork is a fantastic representation of your journey, and I'm excited for you that you are able to pursue it farther, and super happy that you can play your beloved instruments again.

Thank you again.

PJ - Since I first read your story, I've been in awe of your ability to pull yourself up out of a nightmare and learn to thrive again. All the times you were disheartened & frustrated you rose up - and grew stronger with every setback. You are loved and respected. Congratulations on these wonderful works of art. I'm so glad they'll be shared with many others.
