no one ever had to make me do a single extra element of my recovery. As I’ve said, I knew from the second I woke up (and perhaps even before that) that to get back to a life I recognized, a life where I could be a paradigm for those around me, a life where I was fully present physically and emotionally for Ava and for my family and friends, I would have to push myself every minute of every day to recover, and thrive. No one would ever have to tell me to work a little harder.
