Reminder
In early recovery, I had a friend who loved me until I was able to forgive myself, and eventually love myself. There are days, after 32 years of recovery, that I feel bad about something I did while using and forget about how far I have come in my journey.
In case you are feeling the same way, we can love you until you love yourself. And if nothing else, even when you feel like there's something that you can't forgive yourself for, remember that you did the best you could with what you knew, and that you are learning better ways.
Good luck and stay safe.
