I know what you mean....I am actually productive. I have been working on a book, or should I say, compiling information to eventually write a book for a year now. I would stop drinking for a week or so and look at all of my material and "somewhat" begin to compile the info into some sort of logical order but before you knew it I was back to the bottle and the book into went back into it's hiding place. Since I've stopped drinking I have been extremely productive with my progress on the book, infact I should have it completed within a couple of weeks. Probably would have never been anywhere close to writing a book about my journey as an alcoholic if I had not stopped drinking.
Carpe Diem
