Forgiveness: A Key to Healing in Addiction Recovery
“If I forgive everybody, if I can get over my resentments, if I can forgive myself and others, I become free, just like if I make amends to the people that I actually offended. To me, that's the serenity and the peace you know, the healing that comes from.”
