Making amends (apologizing and asking for forgiveness) is an important part of the healing process during recovery from addictions. Unfortunately many people do not focus enough on learning to forgive themselves, which causes them to get stuck in part of their recovery because they feel unworthy. That's just a lie the devil has convinced many to keep telling themselves to the point that they convince themselves that it's true. However the truth is, the devil is a lie and we all need to learn to include ourselves when making amends during the recovery process.

Anonymous Sinner In other words, don't just work on making amends with others, work on making amends with yourself also
Wow, it's been almost 3 years since I was getting high. From time to time I see others that I used to drink and use drugs with and I feel a since of gratitude for the time I've been clean. I hope that somehow I will be able to show someone else that getting and staying clean is possible if a person is willing to seek and take advantage of help for themselves. Although the thought of using again has come across my mind from time to time I also think about how my time clean has helped repair some damage that occurred to family relationships while I was using and using again would not be worth loosing the progress I've made. Thank you for allowing me to share on this site.
