Forgiveness:_first_day_of_treatment
How ironic that on my first day of treatment the topic was forgiveness. This topic really hit home with me, and the one thing that I haven't started to do concerning myself. Looking myself in the mirror...what's that about? I do it to shave because I have to. I look to make sure there is nothing on my face before I leave in the morning to start my day. I don't and can't for anything else. Forgiving oneself for all the lying and destruction is most definitely a tall task. It's easier to forgive someone else than it is yourself is very true and realistic I learned. Sometimes I do think about how much hate and dislike I have towards myself and my addiction. All the pain I've inflicted on my family I feel like I'll never be able to forgive myself. I know I need to and I'm sure I'll eventually get there to begin forgiving myself. Time , I'd say a lot of time will be needed to heal all that I've done. In a way I feel as that today was a blessing as I needed to hear a lot about this topic especially being my first day.
I thought it was an interesting day overall. Met some pretty cool people and listened mostly. It's amazing how much you learn about other people and everyone's vice of choice. I learned a lot about myself as well. As I don't use the word often, but today was blessed.
