I realized my coping mechanism became my problem. I feel proud and scared at the same time — like I’m growing up late. I ate snacks like I was refueling for a marathon 😂 One day at a time. Today is en...

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 ...

I used to hide behind the curtains every time a siren went past my house, convinced they were coming for my stash. Yesterday, a police car pulled up and I didn’t even flinch. They just went into the s...

Some days my body is calm but my mind is noisy. I changed my routine a bit and it helped more than I expected. I drank water like it was medicine and honestly… it kind of is. One day at a time. Today ...

Can talk for hours without needing a gallon of water. My tongue thanks me daily.
