Is weening oneself off alcohol a normal way to quit? I still tend to get borderline blackout drunk once a week, but that's better than 3 days a week. It was taking a toll on my health. I replaced those 3 days of hammering with 1, plus like two strong drinks on those other 2 days.

The problem is that in withdrawal drunks tend to get very paranoid, and so thoughts and strategies for quitting get very convoluted and crackpot. Your mind gets haywire. I know a woman who's health is plummeting because she "can't" quit because it's a part of her "lifestyle" (it kind of it a part of her job.) I don't know if my "excuse" is better or worse, as an artist, but I'll be god damned if alcohol doesn't bring a flood of visionary creativity for people like me.

>Compared to the thing, night and color television, the text the beginning "the relevants" as a nine or eight year old, "this is real story" -- my name is Freddy -- have you ever seen that movie, that movie is on a true case----I told the true story.

I have like 120 pages of pure schizo lit on my old computer.

nobody asked you to do that, anon.

Is the entire point of literature to showcase the human drama of the hero growing his personality and overcoming obstacles/fear to reach the end of the hero's journey?

So, we watch drama to eventually see the humble origins poverty hero defeat eventually the arrogant rich asshole?

Isn't this, a dramatic retelling of human life experience the entire reason why we even care about stories and literature?
