Show Notes
You stopped drinking. You’ve changed. So why do you still lie awake thinking about the things you did?
Self-forgiveness in recovery isn’t pretending the damage didn’t happen—and it doesn’t require everyone you hurt to forgive you, either. In this episode, we’re talking about guilt, damaged relationships, rebuilding trust, and the uncomfortable reality of becoming someone different when other people may still remember the old you.
We’ll also dig into the difference between sobriety and recovery, why quitting drinking doesn’t automatically fix every destructive behavior, and a powerful way of making amends that has very little to do with another apology.
If you’re tired of letting the worst things you did while drinking define who you are today, this conversation is for you.
