This could have been a poll but I think there are too many forms of "poison" out there in the art community to list.

For any who have not heard that expression it typically means "what do you drink" or what drugs to you enjoy, etc. Though it doesn't always have to be drugs or alcohol. Could be food, or sleep or whatever.

I've been reading a fair amount recently and even browsing comments on dA, watching interviews with musicians, even talking to a few myself and it seems that a lot of artists have or enjoy a dependancy of some kind. Could be anything.

I paint best when I'm angry.
I play video games when I'm feeling overwhelmed or worthless. (honestly, we all feel that some times, no shame in it)

What's yours?
