The prolific writer has opened up about the private health experience, which motivated him to stop smoking, and how he was worried at one point that he was 'never going to be able to write again.'
The prolific writer says his stroke was a result of blood pressure that was so high, his doctor told him “you’re supposed to be dead.” Symptoms of the stroke, which Sorkin experienced in the middle of the night, involved him bumping into walls and spilling his orange juice while walking to and from places like his kitchen and home office.
Sorkin says that he has since quit smoking cold turkey after being a heavy smoker since high school, whose habit had “been inextricable from his writing process,” reports the“It was just part of it, the way a pen was part of it,” he said. Additionally, he’s adjusted his diet, works out daily and takes “a lot of medicine. You can hear the pills rattling around in me.”
He adds that the return to writing has been a slower process, with writing by hand — something he’s regularly done — having become difficult.
