Actually finished a whole Netflix series without forgetting the plot and restarting it 5 times. Sober memory is a superpower.

I spent 40 minutes last night just... watching the microwave. But here’s the kicker: I wasn’t high, so I actually realized it wasn’t plugged in after 30 seconds. In the past, I would have waited until...

High me walking home: every boda is undercover cop, every shadow is thief. Sober me: strolling peacefully, greeting watchmen, enjoying cool breeze. Night walks are therapy now.

Used to draw "abstract" art high — friends polite lied "It's deep". Sober drawing of my niece: perfect likeness. Mum saw it and cried: "Hii ni yeye kabisa!" Framed it. Talent was always there, just bu...

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...

Used to order two pizzas, ice cream, and chapati at 1am. Delivery guy knew my gate by heart. Now? Midnight craving hits, I drink water and sleep. Monthly food budget dropped dramatically. Used the sav...
