Anywho...back to my question...because I was always seemingly about to experience withdrawal shortly after getting home I would never pick up my guitar until after I had quite a few drinks...I couldn't play right when I got home because I was on the edge of withdrawal and didn't have great coordination

Does any new friend here play the guitar before and after sobriety? Better/worse? honestly? I know the Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh was a pretty hectic alcoholic who recovered.
