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 ...

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

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...

When I was on the pills, Saturday and Sunday were just a blur of naps and "zoning out." I’d blink and it would be Monday morning. This weekend, I went for a walk, read half a book, cleaned the kitchen...

My triggers were coffee, stress, and existing… so yeah. I saved money this week and it shocked me honestly. I drank water like it was medicine and honestly… it kind of is. Thanks for being a safe plac...

I deleted that "one app" that was eating my life. I realized I was spending 4 hours a day watching strangers argue about things that don't exist. In that extra time, I’ve learned how to cook a decent ...

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 forgot that dreams existed. Now that I’ve quit, my brain is overcompensating. Last night I dreamt I was a CEO of a company that sold hats to dolphins. It was more vivid than any 420-induced "revelat...

For two years, every movie was just a series of colorful lights followed by me waking up during the credits. Last night, I watched a thriller. I guessed the killer. I saw the plot twist. I felt the su...
