Hi all! I am more determined than ever to maintain my sobriety. However once thing that seems to constantly weigh me down is the shame and guilt that I feel from someone of my closest loved ones. I know they are rightfully hurt/scared in their own way, but it’s difficult to remain positive while feeling so much shame and guilt from them. How you guys deal with it?

I think a lot of people would say that we have to heal and accept and forgive ourselves first.
I don't know because I have never gotten to that point myself.
I don't always remain positive either.
I do know that my sobriety by itself acknowledges my past mistakes and demonstrates an effort at change. I also know that only being sober will allow me to move forward with these feelings in any kind of non destructive way.
Stay strong
