I didn’t realize how much my weekends were planned around alcohol. I saved money this week and it shocked me honestly. I stared at my trigger like it owed me money, then walked away. Any tips for hand...

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.

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-...

I didn’t realize how much my weekends were planned around alcohol. I feel proud and scared at the same time — like I’m growing up late. I drank water like it was medicine and honestly… it kind of is. ...

I used to say ‘just one’ and somehow it became a full committee meeting. I relapsed recently and I’m trying not to disappear in shame. One day at a time. Today is enough.

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...

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 ...

Chased moving matatu, jumped in smoothly, no coughing fit. Conductor impressed: "Wewe uko fit!"

I told myself weed made me creative, but I wasn’t finishing anything. I relapsed recently and I’m trying not to disappear in shame. I ate snacks like I was refueling for a marathon 😂 Thanks for being ...

Friends impressed.

Haven't sent a single "I miss you at 2am" text in 3 months. My ex is probably confused why the random love declarations stopped. Freedom tastes better than regret.

For a long time, I felt like I was wrapped in bubble wrap—nothing could hurt me, but nothing could touch me either. Today, a song came on the radio and I actually felt... something. It was a bit overw...

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...

Climbed a hill without stopping every 5 steps. View was worth it — and I could breathe!
