Certainly I went through this.....I noticed greatly though I didn't go through so many minutes on the phone after sobering up. No more drunken phone calls...one right after the other to anyone who'd listen. I walk around now when I'm on the phone...go outside.
Big time trigger to get over was smoking and drinking. If I drank I had to smoke...but if I smoked I didn't have to have a drink...
And, I had to drink when I was writing, painting. For a long time I couldn't create anything sober. The brain settled down and the creative juices did come back with even greater inspiration.
