My gosh…is it not so interesting how our brains work?
Instead of telling yourself-
“ Hey, so proud of you for going for what it takes to get and remain sober “!…
You are trashing your own self for not being ready to make amends?!
Flip the script in your mind and maybe step back to acknowledge how amazing you are to even be T R Y ing to make amends.
It is not a small thing.
Be kinder to yourself even if you have never been nice to yourself before.
I know that sometimes it is not easy to be nice to ourselves…while beating ourselves up is most certainly N O T the solution!
Wishing you well.
Please give yourself credit for trying to navigate being sober!
