Creativity unblocked.

I realized my coping mechanism became my problem. I almost slipped, but I paused and remembered why I started. I drank water like it was medicine and honestly… it kind of is. If you’re reading this on...

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 used to say ‘just one’ and somehow it became a full committee meeting. I relapsed recently and I’m trying not to disappear in shame. If you’ve been here before, what helped you stay consistent?

At the office party, I didn’t want to explain my sobriety, so I told everyone I was a "Water Sommelier." I spent 20 minutes describing the "earthy notes" and "aggressive bubbles" of a bottle of Kering...

Morning routine doesn't sound like maracas anymore. Quiet and peaceful.

Went to my old local spot to see friends. Ordered a Shirley Temple. The bartender kept looking at my waistline for a badge and whispering to the regulars. Apparently, "adults" don't order pink drinks ...

Ran without that sharp pain in my side. Breathing like an athlete, not a steam engine.
