Picked up guitar again. Fingers remember chords!

I didn’t realize how much my weekends were planned around alcohol. I changed my routine a bit and it helped more than I expected. If you’ve been here before, what helped you stay consistent?

I used to swear my Golden Retriever was looking at me with deep, existential disappointment every time I lit up. I thought he knew the secrets of the universe and was keeping them from me. Now that I’...

I’m trying to replace the habit with something healthier (even if it’s imperfect). I almost slipped, but I paused and remembered why I started. Thanks for being a safe place to be honest.

I didn’t think dependency could happen to me until it did. I relapsed recently and I’m trying not to disappear in shame. I went for a walk and realized my legs have been unemployed for years. If you’r...

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...

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

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...

Did cardio without dying. Lungs sent me a fruit basket. Breathing is easier than I remember.

House smells like candles, not ashtray. Guests don't hesitate to sit on couch.
