Being a Writer is Being a Drug Addict...

You know, I really thought it was just a funny metaphor. I mean, writers have weird sleeping patterns, dazed looks about them, and sometimes bloodshot eyes. We never have any money because we're always feeding our habit. But then I looked up drug abuse signs... And that's when it got funny serious...

• Breath smells of Alcohol
• Eyes unusually bright
• Illogical talk
• Sleeps late
• Appears drunk
• Slurred speech
• Stumbling gate
• Droopy eyes
• Grouchiness
• Blank stare
• Erratic behavior
• Where I found the signs...

That describes me to the letter when I'm working hardcore on my writing. Or even just as a graduate student. 

So this leaves me with a question... Do I need rehab?
