Scent and Addiction/Recovery

  • #beginners

As part of my recovery from addiction, I’ve begun to explore as many different creative and new hobbies as possible (and find joy in the things I used to love). Being part of the fragrance community, exploring new and exciting scents, as well as researching the history behind it has been incredible. I’m just curious if any other folks have experienced a similar journey or are in recovery that led them to this particular passion (obviously a very personal and sometime polarizing topic but I thought I’d throw it out there). Thanks all and you guys have been incredibly welcoming thus far

    Congrats! I'm almost 8 years clean off one of the most harmful drugs in the world. First thing I did when I became myself again was start writing music once more, and a couple years after that I began collecting fragrances. I'm now officially obsessed.

      That’s amazing. Music is my biggest passion as well and I’m trying to get my chops back after so many years. Great to hear you’re still in recovery and doing well man

      Thanks so much. It’s been tough. Didn’t realize how emotionally stunted you are while using and then having to basically find yourself all over again. It’s been wonderful for now, and hope it continues. Thanks again

      Thanks so much. At some point you just get so exhausted and are tired of the chaos. Appreciate the kind words
