The closest thing I have are my online profiles from Reddit and now here. And yep, I do read back on my conversations for the most part as it's the closest thing I have, I suppose.
While it doesn't quite fit what an actual journal is, it is interesting to read back and remember what my state of mind was or what I knew at the time I wrote what I did. Of course, like anyone else, I run the full gambit from being insightful to being stupid.
I did use another profle for when I quit drinking. I used it as an actual journal to document what I was feeling and what I was going through. So, it helped me and I think it helped others that read it.
