My name is Beth and I'm an addict. I was sitting in a meeting today and as the meditation was being read I realized that I'm thankful for the bridges I've burned during my active addiction and even the ones I burned in my recovery. If the people in my life hadn't set boundaries with me and let me be where I was at the time, I wouldn't have had to accept the responsibility for my actions. The pain wasn't great enough as long as I had people to cosign my junk and clean up my messes. With a little over a year clean and starting my ninth step I think I am ready to do my part in attempting to repair some of those bridges to the best of my ability. The two most important relationships I lost were the ones with myself and my Higher Power. I have been attempting to repair these relationships before I can do anything else. Thanks for being here. I'm grateful to be clean today.
