Summary

This quote suggests that alcohol has a unique ability to provide individuals with a sense of creativity and artistic expression that cannot be replicated by any other person, art form, or substance.

I was happy in the dream; but when I woke up it was with a feeling that I was falling apart, that I was cracking up from the inside and slowly falling to pieces. My heart was jumping and grating like a cold engine that doesn't want to start. My skin was crawling, and I couldn't manage a single clear thought. It was as if all my thoughts were crushed to bits just as they began to take shape. I didn't get much done that day.
