Luxuries we forget that are luxuries:

1. Your mom still around
2. Hot water
3. Feeling healthy
4. Peace of mind & heart
5. Perfect weather days
6. Good food
7. Bills paid
8. Reliable transportation

I never thought I’d be able to deprescribe my antipsychotic.

I’ve taken it for 18 years.

My schizophrenia was diagnosed in 2008. I had hallucinations, delusions, cognitive difficulties, and anxiety.

The drugs worked well initially. However, efficacy faded over time and serious side effects kept mounting. Eventually the drugs stopped working entirely.

Being in ketosis allows my brain to function normally again.

How do I know? I feel great when my ketones are 2.0 or above. My symptoms disappear.

I wore a CGM consistently for 2 years. I’ve also used a Keto-Mojo reader up to three times a day for 2½ years.

What helps me stay in ketosis?
- A ketogenic diet
- Intermittent fasting
- Daily exercise
- Fixing hormonal issues
- Correcting nutrient deficiencies
- Controlling inflammation
- Sleeping well
- Morning and evening sunlight
- Reducing stress
- Logging and tracking food, medications, supplements, sleep, and exercise.

Metabolic therapies are life-changing. They should be recognized as therapeutic.

I decided I wouldn't make this change unless I felt it could be done sustainably and in the long-term.

So:

- I'll be keeping my old iPhone, but with no phone plan. It will be stored away and only used when traveling or for crucial apps.

- I got a really good flip phone from Sunbeam. It was expensive, but it has Waze, speech-to-text, 5G hotspot, and other features that will make the switch less inconvenient.

- I'll still be on social media, but strictly on my computer.

- My goal is to increase my focus and attention span and really lock in on law and business school over the next few years.

We will see how it goes!

Turning 27 today and got myself a flip phone.

I've determined that a smartphone has become a net negative for my life. Excited for this new phase!

Congratulations on 9 years of sobriety to Erica! 🎉

“Yesterday I turned 48 years old and celebrated 9 years of sobriety. When I walked into detox on my 39th birthday, I didn’t believe this was possible. I never would’ve thought I’d be standing by a pool, acting all goofy, holding oversized balloons, celebrating my freedom from alcohol.

Addiction made me believe the life I was living was a good as it was going get. I made my bed and I was going to have to lay in it forever. What a crock of crap. I will never come on here and say it’s been easy. It has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but as cliché as it sounds, it has been worth it.

This isn’t just a birthday. It’s a rebirth. It may sound corny and some people don’t get it, but IDGAF. The day I chose to give sobriety an honest and real chance is the day I decided I didn’t want to die. I will always be a little extra because I was given an extra chance at life. Birthdays used to remind me of loss, pain and abandonment. Now they fill me with hope and happiness.

I will always show the world #recoveryispossible if you want it, work for it and never give up on it.”

To everyone in your first year of sobriety:

That first year is brutal — one of the hardest battles you’ll ever fight. The cravings, the emotions, the rewiring of your entire life… it’s heavy. And yet here you are, still fighting for a better life

You have my deepest respect.

I promise you this: it gets lighter. It gets clearer. It gets so much better.

Living sober isn’t just “okay” — it’s freeing, peaceful, and genuinely beautiful.

You didn’t just take the first step. You chose courage over comfort, every single day.

Keep going.

The best version of your life is waiting on the other side

You’ve got this 💪❤️

draft-not sure if x is the proper platform for me to be journaling about sobriety. if X had a family premium plan or allowed users to add 6 accounts, i'd be more inclined, but I can't shell out for one account when i use twitter speficially to separate different facets of life

[sober mark - personal account @Sober7253]

also me: ok
me: what should I type to make sure that i'm sober forever-i don't like how I cannot edit my posts on twitter
