He was high as a kite/drunk as hell for at least the first two, the rest he was sober/recovering since they were written from 1991-2012. He got clean in the late 80s apparently.
The Gunslinger was actually one of the first things he wrote, even before Carrie, it was a short story that he wrote in 1970, and then was submitted to and published in a Sci-Fi magazine in multiple parts in the late 70s, and then sat on it for a while. The Gunslinger as a whole wasn't published until 1982, and then re-released in 1988. The Drawing of the Three was released in 1987.
I know he blamed the weird child orgy thing in It entirely on cocaine and alcohol.
Damn, that doesn't explain why the series is getting more and more ridiculous towards the end.
He had a lot of notes from the high times!
