The battle begins when he is 17, alone for the first time in forever it seems. He tells himself it’s one he can win. But recovery is one of the hardest decisions we will make. When we are weak, we seek shelter in something so much bigger than ourselves, forgotten in the shadows of our peers. It is a delicate process and you cannot do it alone. Sometimes help comes too late. Sometimes it comes on a warm July night – in the form of a friend long abandoned when things got too sour for his taste.
