One of my favourite things to do in the world was/is to sit with a bottle or 2 or wine (or a gram or coke) and brainstorm about how to make my businesses better. I'm actually VERY productive when i do it and make pages of notes. I've done extremely well in business over the years and have won tons of awards for what i do. It has always been part of my creative process, so stopping will be a real challenge for me. I'd like to say i drink because of some sort of childhood trauma, but the truth is that I associate it with good times and productivity. It wasn't until recently that I took a look back and realized that it has been a number of years since i have been sober for any length of time at all (a day or 2). The honest look in the mirror really got my attention. I'm on day 5 today. Hopefully I don't falter once the glow of getting sober wears off.
You're not alone. Keep looking into that mirror. Stay motivated.
