“that was a brave thing you did.”

HE SCOFFS AT HER, as if that’s the most bizarre, uncouth thing she could have possibly said to him. He takes a long drag of his cigarette, hands shaky from withdrawal ( how many times has he been through it now? A dozen times? ). He shakes his head at her, refusing to meet her gaze.
Part of him knows that she’s right, that he really is brave for trying to get sober again, over and over, despite almost unavoidable relapse eventually. He’s like a ticking bomb, ready to explode any second if he’s pushed in the wrong direction.
“What do you know about bravery?”
He flicks the cigarette aside, ember striking the concrete and cascading into sparks like a firework.
“It’s not brave to keep getting high.”
