Another day sober, however trying to forgive myself of all the pain and hurt I’ve caused to the ones I love the most.

I understand this so well. I carried so much guilt and shame over how I behaved when drunk at times. My sponsor suggested I write an amends letter to myself and to write it from the perspective of a caring friend. It was incredibly cathartic. You deserve to have the weight lifted and to forgive yourself. We all make mistakes, we’re only human. Progress not perfection :two_hearts::pray:

Thank you so much! I’ll use that suggestion. It’s kind of reassuring and a breath of fresh air knowing I’m not the only one going through this, but going through this with others feels like I have a family without judgement.

You are not ur past mistakes don’t let shame make u think u r the bad thing. U have evolved that person is gone. I know how it feels .. my family still sees me as the “bad” one
All you have to do rn is focus on believing in yourself. You got this and you are worth it
