Why I Built This Space - Read this First
I didn’t build this because I have the answers.
I built it because staying sober and mentally steady takes honesty, not hype.
I’ve learned the hard way that pretending to be fine makes things worse.
This space exists so people don’t have to do that.
Over the last year — while out of work — I wrote a 30,000-word book about how I survived depression and stayed sober. Not theory. Not productivity hacks. Just lived experience.
Here, I share:
• One chapter each weekend
• One poem midweek
• Honest reflections on rebuilding, ego, failure and staying in the fight
Some of it might help you. Some of it won’t.
Take what works. Leave the rest.
There’s no pressure to post here.
Reading quietly counts.
This is not therapy. I’m not a clinician, and this isn’t medical advice.
This is just one person telling the truth about what kept him going.
Be kind. Be respectful. Everyone here is carrying something you can’t see.
If you’re here, you’re welcome.

A small, private space for honest conversation about sobriety, depression, and staying human.
Built slowly, with no hype and no judgement.
