If this was you and you overcame. Please share your story of hope.
Sorry for the darkness of this picture but this was me only 30 days ago and I am still working through it. Happiness is just a mask for many still stuck in the past. Please share your story of hope for those who still have pain.
Even though I may not know you personally, feel free to friend me and message me anytime. I love you all for your courage to change.
Be the light to those in darkness.
Hi Richard - I was consumed with not forgiving myself and self-hatred for a long time. Using was a way to cover the pain. It was only through the unconditional love of the God of my understanding - and my understanding of His command to forgive, not only others but myself - that I forgave myself. Staying clean and working the 12 Steps cemented it. I still deal with remorse and regret, but I am working on the concept of Radical Acceptance with a therapist. Not every day is puppy dogs and rainbows, but at least Iām clean and working a program. And I feel good about myself for doing that, just for today. Stay in the light!
