   Summary

   Recovery is not a linear thing; it takes time, patience, and effort. It is tedious and often thankless.
   Transformation does not happen instantly, and often one doesn’t realize how much they’ve changed until they look back weeks, months, years, and realize they are no longer the person they were.
   Recovery is not found in the big moments, but instead, the moments in between-- the mundane, the menial, the simple.
   The same can be said of life. The same can be said of falling in love.

   A collection of the big moments and the moments in between during Robert’s recovery from grief, addiction, and self-destruction, written from the perspective of Dadsona.
