Yeah. Good rock comes from inner confusion and anger, but those are things we deal away with instead of nurturing once we figure out how. I have tried to write some songs recently but they always come out so lame now.I know what you mean. I still like loud music(when I can control the volume) but I can't stand the scene anymore since I'm in recovery as well.
Fish keeping has become a major part of my recovery. It keeps me busy and relaxes me.
