I came across the Recovery Road tv show quite by accident. I was sitting down for lunch and decided to catch something on tv to relax for a bit before going back to more errands. Within the first 10 minutes I was having flashbacks.It is not a reality show but aspects of it could easily be autobiographical.
Scenes from my senior year in high school and freshman year in college quickly flashed in my mind's eye as a quick moving montage of my past. It was a painful look at myself in the last week of my using and my first few weeks on my own personal journey of recovery, but this time from a clear-headed observer's perspective of someone with 30 yrs clean.
The identificaiton was both painful and full of gratitude that I don't have to be there ever again unless i choose to be. So very grateful for the freedom from the insanity of addiction AND early recovery.
The show is a must see and I'll definitely be tuning in to watch.
