Forgiveness is a tricky business, isn't it? In this episode of the Relational Recovery podcast, Wes Thompson and Austin Hill continue their deep dive into the complex topic of forgiveness. With over 20 years of experience in addiction recovery, they share heartfelt stories and practical advice that can help anyone struggling with unwanted behaviours. One key point they discuss is the importance of reminding yourself that you are no longer the person who made those past mistakes.
This shift in mindset can be incredibly liberating and is often the first step toward genuine self-forgiveness. They also touch on how incremental change is crucial—like climbing a mountain, it's all about taking one step at a time. The hosts reflect on their own experiences and the transformative power of believing in change. They candidly discuss how progress can sometimes feel slow and frustrating, but emphasise that it's still progress.
If you're battling with self-forgiveness or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in for an honest, compassionate conversation that might just give you the boost you need to keep moving forward.
