I lost track of my "setbacks", but for me, relapses were simply part of the process.
I also suspect surges in artistic/creative endeavors are natural for many of us who begin to feel empowered when breaking free. I went on a creative crafting binge and made a cool guitar strap and a bunch of necklaces. 😊 (My inspiration for crafting eventually dissipated) 4 years & some change since I broke free.
Thanks for sharing! 😊
