Hi - thanks for your post. Im coming up on six months sober, and I still wrestle with shame but there have been moments and days just throughout the six months that I can say Im very proud of
Shame is tricky, and is a powerful tool your addiction can use to keep you stuck because it feeds the desire to self destruct.
I have shared this before and maybe it is silly, but I saw an ad for Whole Foods (American grocery store) which said "treat your body like someone you love". This resonates with me deeply - you would never wish blackouts, confusion and sickness on someone you love! So, I am trying bit by bit to show my body love and respect by making a choice each day to remain sober.
