"I'm not that person anymore. Yeah, I have tendencies that are unhealthy, but I'm growing."
Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This episode of Relational Recovery brings you the second part of a compelling discussion on forgiveness. Hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill explore the intricate relationship between self-forgiveness and addiction recovery. They highlight the power of believing in change and progress, even when it feels like a slow uphill climb. The episode sheds light on how past traumas can trigger present emotions, but with the right mindset, one can move forward.
It's about recognising that while you might have made mistakes, you're not defined by them. Change is incremental, and sometimes it's as simple as acknowledging you're not in that past place anymore. The conversation is a mix of personal reflections and broader insights into the healing process, offering a supportive and compassionate perspective for anyone grappling with addiction or self-doubt. As they say, it's about focusing on progress over perfection and being grateful for each step forward.
Whether you're at the beginning of your recovery journey or have been on this path for some time, this episode offers hope and encouragement. So, are you ready to take that next step towards forgiving yourself?
