At the beginning I had an idea that without the fog of alcohol and drugs (even though I don\u2019t do any drugs) who knows what untold heights of potential I could reach; maybe I could find the cure for cancer. However, ten months in the antidote still eludes me. There has been no surge of brilliance, no Einsteinian levels of revelations so to speak. Now I\u2019m starting to think maybe I did a clean year too late. Perhaps I\u2019ve already burnt those brain cells and now they\u2019re never coming back. Perhaps I&#8217;ve shackled myself to a course of dull-wittedness and now I\u2019m relegated to living a life of mediocracy. Perhaps or perhaps not. I\u2019m hoping for the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"849\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eloquentgrammarsociety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cHJpdmF0ZS9sci9pbWFnZXMvd2Vic2l0ZS8yMDIyLTExL2xyL2xvYzIwMTQ2NDk2MjMtaW1hZ2UuanBn-1.jpg?resize=640%2C849&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dethrone King Alcohol.
