The weight of it pressed down, a constant ache. He’d chase the fleeting high, the illusion of control, only to find himself further adrift.

Even moments meant for connection – a simple barbecue with family – became fraught with a bitter undercurrent, leaving a stain that seemed impossible to erase.
