I write and I knit. Both help me get out of my head - writing because it lets me get my feelings out, and I'm good at it, and have a lot of fun doing it. Knitting I have to totally concentrate on, and I love the feel of the yarn, in my fingers. When I'm knitting, I'm not thinking about anything else, so it lets me escape in the way that drinking used to, and I get something beautiful at the end of it.
