Got sober a few years ago. It really does give you next-level confidence to not be anchored down and feeling like trash all the time, but it also gives you a new sort of energy that you need to focus, otherwise you'll start looking at literally everything in your life, regardless of the level of positivity or negativity it actually gives your life, and saying "That's the OLD me. GET RID OF IT." Like, if you're not careful, you can easily lump things that are still like 75% positive into "There's negativity here. This whole thing must be purged." I don't know Buckley, but it seems like he's on this wavelength and is more willing to kill the old.
