I threw away my last pack and felt like I dumped a toxic ex. I saved money this week and it shocked me honestly. I stared at my trigger like it owed me money, then walked away. I’m posting here instea...

I thought I needed alcohol to dance. Turns out I dance better sober. No more stepping on toes. My moves are sharp now. Watch out, TikTok!

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...

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...

No more cigarette corpses everywhere. Compound cleaner, watchie happier.

I used to wonder why my indoor plants kept dying. I think it was the second-hand smoke I was exhaling on them every morning. Two months nicotine-free and my lilies are thriving, and my partner finally...

Actually finishing books. TBR list shrinking!

I used to count pills like a routine; now I’m counting days. I feel proud and scared at the same time — like I’m growing up late. Thanks for being a safe place to be honest.
