Let go of shame and guilt from past mistakes from "summary" of The Real Thirteenth Step by Tina B. Tessina
To fully recover from addiction, it is crucial to release the heavy burden of shame and guilt that often accompanies past mistakes. These negative emotions can weigh us down and prevent us from moving forward in our journey towards healing. By acknowledging our past errors and forgiving ourselves, we can free ourselves from the chains of self-blame and self-condemnation. It is important to understand that everyone makes mistakes, and no one is perfect. We are all human, and we are bound to stumble along the way. Instead of dwelling on our past missteps, we must learn from them and use them as stepping stones towards growth and self-improvement. Holding onto shame and guilt will only hinder our progress and prevent us from reaching our full potential. Forgiving ourselves does not mean forgetting our past mistakes or pretending they never happened. It simply means accepting them as part of our journey and choosing to move forward with grace and compassion. We must be gentle with ourselves and treat ourselves with the same kindness and understanding that we would offer to a friend in a similar situation. By letting go of shame and guilt, we can pave the way for healing and transformation. We can start anew and create a brighter future for ourselves. It is only by releasing the past that we can truly be present in the moment and open ourselves up to the endless possibilities that lie ahead. So, let go of shame and guilt, and embrace the freedom that comes with self-forgiveness.
