§ 02 — The Opening Line
“I stayed sober, but I didn't stay good.”
Sobriety was the beginning, not the finish line. This is the ongoing story of recovery, discipline, relapse-proof honesty, running, wilderness, and becoming useful again.
Sobriety gave him a second chance. Running gave him a structure. The road gave him a place to tell the truth.
