CREATIVE RECOVERY SURVEY

We want to learn more about the addiction issues of creative people. Toward that end, we invite to answer the following questions and send your responses along to us. Please let us know whether or not we can use your responses in a future book (if we use your responses, we would not use your name, unless you specifically request that we do). Please answer the following questions as fully as you can.

1. What has been your history with addiction?

2. What in your mind is the relationship between being a creative person and being prone to addiction?

3. How have your addictive tendencies sabotaged your creative efforts?

4. What has worked for you to help you heal from, recover from, or deal with your addiction issues?

5. If you are in recovery, how has your creative life changed since entering recovery?

6. If you are in recovery, can you describe the details of your recovery program?

7. If you are in recovery, what challenges of the creative process or the creative life remain triggers for relapse?

8. What recommendations would you make to a creative person who is dealing with an addiction?

Please send your responses to Eric Maisel. And thank you for taking the time to answer these questions.
