Smokey Chuck Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I have been sober for 10 months now and I'm a member of a 12step program.. I work steps, I chair meetings, I have a sponsor... Recently I took a trip to new orleans and I did some graffiti while I was down there... Didn't tell my sponsor. I don't feel like I owe an amends for it though, either. I'm pretty sure I can stay sober and keep doing graffiti. I was born and raised in Chicago and I have been getting up since 2005 although I did my first tag (with paint actually) in aprox. 2002. So needless to say, graffiti is a part of my life. I now live in a city with no graffiti and I want nothing more than to crush this city. I have painted a little here but I am afraid to paint because people in recovery know that graffiti is a part of my story and I don't want my identity revealed. I also don't want to do time for painting, which would surely happen here. Anyway I haven't told my sponsor about my desire to keep doing graffiti. I want to continue to work a 12 step program but I also want to continue painting. Has anybody on here been in this boat before? Anybody with any experience that can give me some insight? Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

injury Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Don't paint graffiti in a clean town. Paint graffiti in a shitty place slightly outside the clean town. Like a bridge. Or freights. Or start doing meth. I did two of the above and it worked out great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I don't see why graffiti would affect recovery unless it's linked. Like if you did a ghost fill or tag, everything would be cool. But anything involving more than 2 colors made it mandatory that you fire up 5 grams of krillz or whatever. In that case just remember to keep it simple, focus on your hands and hollows and not the booze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
