Maybe because your alcoholic? That is what we did all of our lives!
I will tell you the same thing that my sponsor told me when I couldn't find a way to forgive myself.
He said, "Vic, open up your Basic Text to the first page!"
I did
He said, "What do you see on that page?"
I said "Nothing"
He said, "That is right! Nothing. that is what you know about recovery and that is also what God holds against you for all of your mistakes! So who the hell are you not to be able to forgive yourself?"
Vic didn't say nothing.......
Just be patient with yourself OK...
Blessings to ya
