My fingers aren't purple anymore. Circulation is back! Hands are warm and happy.

Quit the doom-scrolling and the 4am rabbit holes about "how to build a hut in the woods." My phone is confused. It keeps sending me notifications like "Are you dead?" No, Siri, I’m just looking at act...

I didn’t think dependency could happen to me until it did. I almost slipped, but I paused and remembered why I started. My brain tried to convince me ‘just this once’ like a bad salesman. I’m posting ...

I looked at my old "stoner recipes" notebook today. I had written down "Bread dipped in orange juice" like it was a Michelin-star discovery. Being sober means I actually use my stove for things other ...
