The Fifth Vital Quotes

“As I drove down I-95 in my old smoking Ford Explorer with a blown gasket—the first car I’d ever bought with my own money—I got a phone call from my mom. I heard sniffling and heavy breathing on the other end. She tried to say my name, but her voice cracked. “Mike…” she finally said. “Mom, what’s wrong?” My heart clenched. I knew deep down what she was going to say. “Pop’s gone, Mike. He died.”

“I treated the practice of my faith similarly to how I treated my recovery: “Do what works for you.” Just as I believed that those in recovery should create their own plan for reaching long-term sobriety, I felt that people should make up their own minds about how they practiced their religion.”
