something no one mentions about recovery is the guilt and shame. it’s like waking up from a bad dream and realizing all the mistakes you made and how it felt like you were so blind back then. with recovery comes and ungodly amount of acceptance towards yourself. it’s very hard to see yourself as a person who made mistakes and forgive but it’s possible i promise! especially when you have support ! recovery is so worth it when you can see how much progress you’ve made. as they say, looking back in shame only means you’ve grown.
