   Summary

   It’s all just a dream. It has to be a dream, a sick dream because this can’t be happening, not to him, not to the most antisocial person he knows, not to someone that shuns human contact and spends more waking hours alone in the bathtub than not.

   The hardest part of recovery is accepting you need help.
