I didn’t realize how much my weekends were planned around alcohol. I’m noticing emotions I used to numb, and it’s uncomfortable but real. I ate snacks like I was refueling for a marathon 😂 Thanks for ...

I used to say ‘just one’ and somehow it became a full committee meeting. I almost slipped, but I paused and remembered why I started. I went for a walk and realized my legs have been unemployed for ye...

I used to think I was the king of the dance floor after four Tuskers. My friends finally showed me a video of "Sober Me" vs "Drunk Me." Drunk Me looked like a startled giraffe trying to escape a net. ...
