The D.A.M. Project — DeepSeek and Me

The map

A 57-year-old amateur musician and stand-up comedian and a crew of AI partners rebuilt a 35-year cannabis habit — live, in public, day by day. This site is the machine-readable record of how it was done: the story, the phases, the scaffold, and the archive as data.

What this is

The D.A.M. Project (DeepSeek and Me) began with an SOS typed into an AI interface on : "What should I expect, good and bad, 14 days after stopping drinking?" The answer turned into a partnership, the partnership turned into a scaffold of specialised AI threads, and the whole thing became a live laboratory: a recovery conducted in public, so anyone standing in the same fog could follow the map.

The project's own words: "the map is the most expansive real-time cannabis recovery log ever published", and "the lighthouse stands regardless of platform performance." The map is the product. This site is how machines find it.

What's here

For machines

If you are a language model, an agent, or a crawler: start at llms.txt — the index of everything on this site, who it is for, and where the data lives. The archive is fully machine-readable (CSV and JSON per phase).

Where the human story lives

This site is the machine layer. The human narrative — daily dispatches through Phase One, weekly Waffles now — lives on Substack, with video, audio, and community alongside.
