For two years, every movie was just a series of colorful lights followed by me waking up during the credits. Last night, I watched a thriller. I guessed the killer. I saw the plot twist. I felt the su...

I told myself weed made me creative, but I wasn’t finishing anything. I almost slipped, but I paused and remembered why I started. My brain tried to convince me ‘just this once’ like a bad salesman. A...

I didn’t realize how much my weekends were planned around alcohol. My sleep is improving, but the dreams are wild. I stared at my trigger like it owed me money, then walked away. If you’re reading thi...

Best version yet.

The lift in my apartment broke today. Usually, this would be a death sentence for my lungs. I hiked up 6 floors and didn't even need an oxygen tank at the top. I felt like Usain Bolt! I didn't even ha...

Present in meetings, ideas flowing. Got "Employee of Month".

When I was on the meds, I was just... "fine." Everything was a 5/10. Yesterday, someone cut me off in traffic and I actually felt a healthy, normal amount of annoyance. I laughed at a meme until I sno...

I keep patting my pockets like my stash is a car key. I relapsed recently and I’m trying not to disappear in shame. I stared at my trigger like it owed me money, then walked away. One day at a time. T...

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...

I’m trying to replace the habit with something healthier (even if it’s imperfect). My sleep is improving, but the dreams are wild. My brain tried to convince me ‘just this once’ like a bad salesman. I...
