I used to say ‘just one’ and somehow it became a full committee meeting. I almost slipped, but I paused and remembered why I started. One day at a time. Today is enough.

Checked my bank balance and it didn't make me cry. First time in years. Alcohol was an expensive friend. Good riddance.

Used to spend bar money on... bars. Now spending it on my plants. My house looks like a jungle. I talk to them sober. They're better listeners than drunk friends.

I used to think I was the king of the dance floor after four Tuskers. My friends finally showed me a video of "Sober Me" vs "Drunk Me." Drunk Me looked like a startled giraffe trying to escape a net. ...

For ten years, the only time I saw the sunrise was while stumbling out of a club in Westlands, looking for eggs. This morning, I saw it from my balcony with a cup of tea. It turns out the sun is actua...

At a wedding, I was dancing like crazy without drinking. DJ stopped the music: "Is everyone alright? Why is this guy dancing so hard sober?!" Legend status achieved.

Watching movies sober and actually following the plot. No more "wait, who is that guy again?" halfway through.
