I have been improving myself at an unprecedented rate over the past nine months or so! But so far I've been handling the relatively easy stuff - not the big, important, scary, difficult stuff about myself. I like making lists these days of things that should not be in lists

I think all artists have to guard themselves from thinking too much - for fear of suicide or some other form of madness. I guess it proves how sane you are when you see through the veil of the world and understand that you're looking at the path to lunacy.

I wasn't aware that you had STARTED drinking. But my advice (if you care to hear it): Giving up something in your head always makes it twice as tempting. It's the AmeriChristian thing. We love feeling guilty, and regretful. Even the hethenous atheists. Just take it day by day (that helps with the insanity thing too!).

I agree about the sanity/insanity factors. The complicated part is that artists are expected to flirt with insanity, in order to make interesting artwork. I guess it's kind of a balancing act. And I think you're right that i have to take it day by day, and just keep doing it
