I didn’t think dependency could happen to me until it did. I had a craving today that hit out of nowhere. My brain tried to convince me ‘just this once’ like a bad salesman. Thanks for being a safe pl...

Day 20 of no refined sugar. I bit into an apple today and it felt like a flavor explosion. I think I could see colors I’ve never seen before. I used to think a salad was just a "pre-dessert." Now, I a...

I realized my coping mechanism became my problem. I’m noticing emotions I used to numb, and it’s uncomfortable but real. I ate snacks like I was refueling for a marathon 😂 I’m posting here instead of ...

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 reached for my pocket out of habit and felt betrayed by muscle memory. My sleep is improving, but the dreams are wild. I stared at my trigger like it owed me money, then walked away. Thanks for bein...

I keep patting my pockets like my stash is a car key. I’m noticing emotions I used to numb, and it’s uncomfortable but real. One day at a time. Today is enough.

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. I went for a walk and realized my legs have been unemployed for ye...

Emotions were numb for years. Sober sunset at Lake Naivasha — teared up from beauty. Human again.
