    Absolutely. I gave up drinking 2 years as well. I’m a better artist, musician, employee, husband, and father. Alcohol just sucks.

      I would have sworn to you that I couldn’t play guitar well without 2 bourbon and cokes first lol

      Now I’m learning new techniques I would have considered to be way too difficult before!

        Same. I used to play shows wasted as hell. Sometimes I wouldn’t even remember playing that night. I was having fun and thought I sounded great! But truth is that I was sloppy and never really progressing my skills.
