Emotional Sobriety: The Next Step in Recovery
Forgiveness improves our well-being in profound ways. Forgiving others and ourselves helps us achieve freedom from emotionally painful experiences. We are able to claim the experiences we’ve had, rather than allowing those experiences to overwhelm or claim us.
