To be fair he’s been sober longer since being sober to now than from being published to getting sober. But I don’t doubt that in the early years it helped write through some worse times.
Though if you read on writing the dude made a shitload of money from Carrie and I think his next novel to buy an awesome house.
Okay doubled checked 200k (what he made from Carrie) in 74 is worth about 1.3 million now (though probably over years I just did the inflation calculator from its release). Dude won the lottery on his first novel and kept writing … Well some great some not as fun, but never technically awful. Though opinions differ for sure. I always enjoyed his books overall, first novel I read over 1000 pages, and way too young IT.
