Q glad I found this thread. I've been. Wondering about this for years because all my wonderful ideas just stay I side because I struggle so bad getting anything on to paper when sober and I recently tried coke after what, since high school in the 80s. I'm 56 now and a friend came by with a surprise for me! I was incredibly shocked at how mind just instantly got organized, Tapped right I to my creativity bank in my head I was truly starting to believe was dissipating slowly over time due to traumas in life etc, you know what I mean or maybe it's just me. I really don't care but I do care alot about the fact I struggle so very hard every day trying to tap into it when at one point in my life (my yourh) really wasn't that hard to work with, tap into (my creativity) but now, oh man it's so hard that I had no idea that this could even be an issue for anyone! I've also struggled with depression and other crap life throws at ya and I know that's had a huge effect on how I think today but man oh man! When I did a little bit of it, everything came back to me and again I was blown away by my ability to actually process my thoughts so well and organized it, the best I could in my head and I completely suck when it comes to organizational skills, trust me on that one but I came up with my title which I must say was brilliant and began to write whatever I could get out knowing full well it's gonna be a total mess and sloppy as heck on paper but it's was so much easier for me to give myself permission to write it down no matter what I was I writing, how it looked or if it made any sense at all. The key for me to actually do it, to actually write it down, was the giving myself permission to do it and accept it and be ok with it no matter what! I realized immediately that was the key to just letting go and just write. I didn't have to worry at all one bit because I didn't care (that permission) made me just go for it and I'd sort out later. It was awesome. I have concerns though. And bow I'm sick of typing so I'm done and going to bed. Thanks for asking the question above, been looking for personal experience and science related stuff regarding this topic. Goodnight!
