It seems like the discussions are more about what we are learning about ourselves and the practice rather than what's the worst thing you did as an addict.
Start with baby steps, there are many excellent guided mindfulness meditations on youtube or you could even start by listening to binaural beats
There is nothing one can do to change the past so while it is good to learn from our mistake it is futile and even toxic to dwell in it.
The future is a question mark and the only thing we can count on is the impermanence of everything.
Focusing on the present and living it to the fullest and doing our best makes sense to me.
One thing I love about my meditation practice and being mindful is that it has helped me tremendously with anxiety.

Glad to have you on board
