Cried at a sad movie for the first time in years. Emotions were on mute. Now they're in surround sound.

Kids hug me without saying "mommy you smell funny." Best reward ever.

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 ...

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...

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 hide behind the curtains every time a siren went past my house, convinced they were coming for my stash. Yesterday, a police car pulled up and I didn’t even flinch. They just went into the s...

Went to a club sober. The DJ kept yelling "Make some noise if you're drunk!" I stayed silent. He looked directly at me like I personally offended him. Sorry bro, my noise is on mute tonight. Day 60!

The lift in my apartment broke today. Usually, this would be a death sentence for my lungs. I hiked up 6 floors and didn't even need an oxygen tank at the top. I felt like Usain Bolt! I didn't even ha...

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

I keep patting my pockets like my stash is a car key. I relapsed recently and I’m trying not to disappear in shame. I stared at my trigger like it owed me money, then walked away. One day at a time. T...
