Link to famous literary drunks and addicts I thought this was very interesting.
Sad, that creativity is often linked to addiction.
Thoughts?

I thought maybe my XH would be listed with PP. But they are neither famous (except in their own minds) or creative

Interesting. So check out the correlation between Famous Literary Drunks & Addicts and the next slideshow at the same url: Writer and Musician Suicides They miss a whole bunch of really famous suicides - like Sylvia Plath (put her head in a gas oven.) Interestingly her WH Ted Hughes' OW later committed suicide in the exact same way and killed her and Hughes� OC at the same time. There are too may to mention now I start typing. And I wonder how far from suicide some of these drug overdoses and liver failures actually are. Elvis. Jim Morrison. Janice Joplin. Bruce Lee... Suicide by alcohol. Suicide by drugs. Suicide by whatever. All the same. Sometimes it just takes them longer to get around to it. And they leave a bigger mess too. From a song I heard recently (by Alison Krauss): �He put a bottle to his head and pulled the trigger.�

Yukio Mishima, 1925-1970
One of Japan's most important writers, Mishima often wrote about suicide and was obsessed with his country's samurai past. Following their ancient code, he killed himself by ritual disembowelment after a year of planning.
