I didn’t expect detox to mess with my sleep this much. I saved money this week and it shocked me honestly. If you’re reading this on day 1, please know day 1 matters.

Drew something sober and it didn't look like abstract nonsense. Friends could actually tell what it was. Progress!

Peaceful start to day. Just birds and tea.

Today I walked past a bar and my brain started negotiating like a lawyer. I had a craving today that hit out of nowhere. I ate snacks like I was refueling for a marathon 😂 One day at a time. Today is ...

High runs: stop every 200m to stare at clouds. Sober run: steady pace, personal best time. Endorphins realer than any high.

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...

Checked my bank balance and it didn't make me cry. First time in years. Alcohol was an expensive friend. Good riddance.

Ate ugali and sukuma and nearly cried. Flavors are in HD now. Taste buds woke up from coma.

Since I quit the sticks, my nose has become a lethal weapon. I smelled my neighbor making toast this morning and I live on the 4th floor. The world is a very smelly place! Mostly good, sometimes "bus-...
