This is a different kind of "Building Bridges" episode. We're not talking about political divides today; we're talking about the chasm that opened up between me and my own life. This is the story of my recovery from alcohol. I'll share how my drinking wasn't just a habit, but a wall I built between myself and everything that mattered: my relationships, my passions, and my own truth. We'll walk through the moment I realized the bridge was out, the terrifying first steps of rebuilding, and how sobriety has become the strongest foundation I've ever built upon. This is an unfiltered look at getting real, getting sober, and finally building a life I don't want to escape from.Key Takeaways:1. The First Bridge is to Honesty: Recovery starts with building a fragile, crucial bridge to the truth about your own life.2. Sobriety is a Demolition Project First: You have to tear down the wall of denial before you can lay the first stone of a new life.3. Rebuilding Relationships Requires a New Blueprint: The old ways of connecting (often through drinking) don't work. You have to learn new forms of intimacy and communication.4. The Most Important Bridge is the One to Yourself: Recovery is about rediscovering who you are without the substance and learning to trust and love that person again.Resources & Support: If triggered, please seek support.
