The guest who made this mask completed it in a single session and "didn’t say much about it," said Glasgow. He was within days of stopping using, she noted. "My impression is that he was just trying to get it out of his head.”

A guest named Anna created this addiction mask. Anna said her addiction mask "was a good reminder" of why she's at Turning Point, working to stay clean.

This is Anna's recovery mask. She said her addiction mask was easier to make. "I think I was more familiar with that," she reflected. "This one's better, though."

A young man new to recovery made this mask in one day, Glasgow said. He talked to her about "living on the streets and getting beat up." He was charming and funny, she said, but “I could tell it was really raw for him. Like he was inches away from it."

Glasgow's own addiction mask depicts her depression and suicidal ideation. Glasgow's addiction mask has hair made of black and red yarn, with rocks tied to the ends, to convey the feeling of "being weighted down." "I need vigilance in my life so I don't go back here," she said. "Turning Point is part of my vigilance."

Glasgow's recovery mask wears a headdress of flowers and feathers. "I feel lighter," she said. "I have hope where I didn't before."

Glasgow held her addiction and recovery masks in her hand, back to back. "They're both part of who I am," she said. Of her addiction mask, she added: "I can't forget it. It has to remain a piece of myself. But I don't have to live in there anymore."
