After years of living in an semi-acholic daze, I’m now completely sober and I hate it. I hate it because it used to be I would day drink and then spend the afternoon writing.
No longer a barfly.
Now, my whole writing technique is upended and I have to write everything without the added creativity of booze to grease things. I even have to write the scenes that make me uncomfortable — spicy scenes — without getting wasted so I don’t get all wiggly-giggling about things.
But, I just can’t keep drinking like I was. I was beginning to have health issues directly related to drinking too much and because I’m NOT an alcoholic, I just stopped cold.
It sucks. It sucks so bad. But, here I am.
It would be a lot more fun if being sober somehow made me more stable. But it hasn’t made me more stable at all. I’m just as big a kook as I was before.
UGH.
