He picked up his mobile and paused. She’d been less than specific, saying only to call when he was clean. But there’s so many layers of sobriety, he thought. He assumed she meant when he was over the shakes, past the blackouts. But he wasn’t sure. So pocketing the mobile, he vowed to go on, for now, alone.

Good! She said it because she figured he'd never BE clean.

Good thing he didn't call, she probably would have hung up on him!

I don't know if you do awards, but I've been giving out awards to some of my readers and I have one for you at my blog. If you don't do them, don't feel you have to pass it on or anything.
