but I know that there are still hundreds of pages left, and I know what that means for Nic. Of course, drug addiction recovery is not linear, but I could practically feel the desperation from David Sheff. I also found the ending extremely realistic, and while I had originally hoped for something more optimistic, upon a few days of sitting with my thoughts on the memoir, I realised that the ending was very true to the nature of an addiction/recovery.
Everything about their journey together was heartbreaking, but full of light within the darkness. I wish for nothing but the best in both of their lives.
