“I feel odd. Like I don’t belong. I don’t fit anymore.” The small smile Dr. M gave him was a surprise. “Isaac, you’re sober. You’re in therapy, you’ve just come out of rehab, and you’re taking control of your life. I would be concerned if you didn’t feel odd. You’re changing. Evolving as a person and learning how to manage your addiction and the consequences of that addiction. I think the oddness you’re experiencing is your subconscious awareness of how different you are already. Who you were is at odds with who you’re becoming. Your old life doesn’t fit. Of course, it feels odd.”
