Echo
On Monday afternoon my heart sank a little just about the
time I usually called Jack. Like an echo, I expected this feeling to return a
little softer each Monday until it faded. I accepted it, and as best I could, kept
moving.
As painful as addiction can be, I’d seen so many people miss
parts of the lifestyle. They listened for the echo of the first time they got
high, or the times they didn’t get caught dealing, scamming, or stealing. Many
relapsed before they learned the echoes fade if you accept them, and move on.
Today I’ll be grateful the echoes fade.
