Trait 1. We grew up in an atmosphere of invalidation which resulted in ambivalence about our artistic expression.

• A.R.T.S. and Our Spiritual Awakening
As we progressed in A.R.T.S. Anonymous, we identified ourselves as artists, we did the work, and we shared it.
• Anorexia of Avoidance
This pamphlet is one A.R.T.S. member’s description of a problem many of us have experienced. Our recovery begins with identification of our common problems. We of A.R.T.S. Anonymous have found a common solution to many of these problems in the Twelve Steps and the Tools of the A.R.T.S. Program.
• Envy to Appreciation
Trait 6: We have felt intimidated by other artist’s success. Jealousy, envy, fear, self-pity, perfectionism, resentment and other character defects block our creative expression.
• Facing Avoidance
Many circumstances may cause artists to become blocked, leaving them unable to move forward. Attempts to nurture and feed their art may result in frustration. Some questions may assist in the discovery of unknown fears that obscure the joy of creating. Blocks can be spiritual, emotional, mental, and even physical. What seems overwhelming may have a simple, manageable solution.
• Powerless Over and Unmanageable
Unmanageable: Can’t start. Won’t surrender. Easily distracted. Can’t let go. Might as well give up. What do I have to lose?
• Proces VS Product
Healthy children go to their play with a joyous sense of freedom from results; they have no particular expectation about the outcome of their play. To watch a child wading in a mud puddle is to understand what “now” means. Although children play diligently and with great concentration, to them, it is simply “fun.”
