You don't need to use drugs to be creative.

Well I'll make it big writing one day so why should I work a "real job." The world owes me... When disappointed with rejection it stifled (by choice) my creativity. When I sought to escape reality through drug use I found myself only to be inspired when I was inebriated. The dopamine flooding my brain artificially induced a spiritual bliss. Everything made sense. Thus my creativity flourished. Many artist have died seeking the high to make the ultimate piece. Years later some of what I discovered that what I wrote, music, photography, drawings I created were good. Most of it sucked. When I got clean and sober it was a blessing to find out that I could be creative without drug use. And also could get a natural high on what I created. A decisive implementation was being introduced to the book

The Artist's Way

by my counselor. Years later, I found myself in emotional angst and writing provided great self-therapy for me. While in this angst I took solace in knowing others could relate and be inspired by what I created. They couldn't express themselves creatively with what we both felt. Therefor, it is with utmost sincerity that I represent others who can't represent themselves. If you wish to write get started, eventually you will learn what you are doing. The days will pass regardless.
