Putting it down

Early June. I stopped. I am counting in days now.

I stopped. I am counting in days now.

Early June 2026 I put the substance down. By mid September that is something like 104 or 105 days. I am not going to dress it up as a brand. Recovery peers have my back. I have theirs. The Today app on this site is a notebook, not a clinic.

I came through a life that should have ended me more than once. I am still here. That is the whole post. The rest of the journal is what I did with the days after.
