Ep 115 - Accepting who you used to be is a huge step toward the self-worth we seek to internalize in our addiction recovery. This means feeling into the love you have for yourself or perhaps it means, to you, loving yourself for the first time in a long time. Our behaviors are not who we are nor are they who we were. We behaved the way we did because we were being run by unconscious programming that manifested from our sufferings, traumas, and the ill-programming laid upon us by our influencers.

When you really step into accepting yourself, even though your behaviors were not what you would recall as being based in integrity - we can continue on the journey of addiction recovery.

Accept the person, change the behavior. We so often judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their actions. We can start, today, the act of releasing judgment and instead accept the person, and ourselves. Judging doesn't do much good when we are all living in glass houses.
