Lungs feel brand new. Breathing deep like yoga instructor.

I forgot that dreams existed. Now that I’ve quit, my brain is overcompensating. Last night I dreamt I was a CEO of a company that sold hats to dolphins. It was more vivid than any 420-induced "revelat...

My triggers were coffee, stress, and existing… so yeah. I saved money this week and it shocked me honestly. I drank water like it was medicine and honestly… it kind of is. Thanks for being a safe plac...

When I was on the pills, Saturday and Sunday were just a blur of naps and "zoning out." I’d blink and it would be Monday morning. This weekend, I went for a walk, read half a book, cleaned the kitchen...

I’m trying to replace the habit with something healthier (even if it’s imperfect). I relapsed recently and I’m trying not to disappear in shame. My brain tried to convince me ‘just this once’ like a b...
