Eight years sober. I don't preach — I just remember how day one felt and I'll sit with anyone who's there.

One Year Helping
A full year of showing up for strangers.
Day 6 was my hardest day. Eight years on I still remember the hour.
A plan for 6–9pm specifically, written down in the morning. Not willpower — logistics. And one number I could text that never asked me to explain.
Cravings have a shape. Mine peaked at about 20 minutes. Once I knew the shape I could wait it out instead of negotiating with it.
Only from members this person actually helped.
“They actually listened instead of judging me. The 20-minute craving thing got me through my second week.”
