How do you get out of the shame spiral after you drink? How can you stop beating yourself up every time you drink? How can you learn to be more compassionate with yourself?

A lot of what I talk about is having self-compassion when you're changing your drinking. We cannot hate ourselves to recovery. We can't shame ourselves to recovery.
