This is how getting sober helped improve my tattoo career
Transcript
This is how getting sober helped improve my tattoo career. I smoked weed for probably ten years. From twenty sixteen on, it was an all day everyday thing to the point where I was probably smoking about four grams a day, spending about $500 a month. I had reached this conclusion that basically all of my success and creativity was derived from being stoned all the time. It was practically impossible to function without it in my mind. I used it to medicate, to regulate my ADHD, my appetite, and in my rank, I was stimulating creativity by being stoned all the time. About three months ago, I decided enough was enough, and I got sober. I was getting to this point where I was taking a rip rank I didn't even wanna be. I didn't wanna be stoned anymore. I didn't wanna waste this time and this money. And it wasn't easy. The first week was really hard. And there were a lot of times where I was fully convinced I couldn't do it.
