Oh, dearest, I am so behind on comments to you and others, but I had to say something. I believe Evan, b/c I can see that, and I have had a similar situation. As you know, I don't struggle with alcohol in my life, but I have other struggles involving mental and physical health, and after crashing and burning in a spectacularly exciting (and stressful) career, I've spent a lot of years since frustrated and wondering whether I'd ever be capable of more than dribs and drabs of writing work at a time. But the answer for me has been - yes. It's been a clawing-my-way-uphill battle, and still is, and likely always will be, but I'm doing better, hard as it is. And I continue to strive for better, even during times like this.
Don't let setbacks or doubt scare you. You've got this. And remember...if you want, there are also a lot of ways to find excitement and challenge outside work stuff, too. :) But yes, I understand where you're coming from...and yes, I believe you can be more fulfilled in the future, as you gain experience and keep fighting the good fight.
I'm pretty flattened for the night, but I just had to tell you that, sweetpea. <3 Love you.
