I made the connection when I was fighting with a girlfriend my first year of sobriety. I had been seeing this retaining wall I wanted to tag. And out of nowhere I’m like, I’m gonna go paint that. And like, I didn’t put it together in that moment but... a helicopter came and I ran.... and I got away... it was fuckin’ gnarly. And I got back to the apartment... and I was like, 'that was me checking out from being upset about this girl.' And I made that connection. I had been sober a little bit... it’s funny, it’s, like, a long process right? It’s like, not an event, you don’t just get sober and say like, ‘oh man I’m not, like, dealing with feeling upset about a girl I’m fighting with and I’m painting graffiti to escape.’ I actually want to stop doing that to like actually show up for myself.”Please email us with questions or comments at podcast@transformationscare.comVisit our website www.transformationscare.comBecome our patron on Patreon! www.patreon.com
