Chemicals
I’m feeling off today. I’ve been taking my psych meds at erratic times and in the past couple of weeks I’ve been self medicating. I’m too old to be treating my body like a chemistry experiment. And it’s not like anyone actually wants to party with me. I’m not feeling very nice. I mean that…

I like to remind myself that everything “down there” works because in some ways I’m not much of a man in other ways. I’m weak. Maybe I always have been and am only becoming reconciled with it now. When I was living on my own I had a friend who said I seemed weak. I…

36 Hours is the longest I’ve been awake in a long time. It’s been a good day, night, and another day. I need to take my psych meds and eat. Hopefully I can sleep after that. It obviously didn’t work last night though.

One Month Sober
I have been alcohol and THC free for exactly a month. I have however drank a river of coffee in that time. My brain is also being held together by science in the form of psych meds, but I try not to think of that as doing drugs.

Sobriety Today
I have been substance free for a little over two weeks if I do not count caffeine. I do not count caffeine. There are also my prescription psychiatric medications. But I haven’t had any alcohol or THC since two Mondays ago. That’s got to count for something.
