47. Can I Ever Forgive Myself? Healing After Hurting the Ones I Love

In this episode of In the Circle, we delve into the sensitive and deeply personal journey of Peter, a person in recovery who has experienced the profound loss of connection with his children. This estrangement is not a result of death but due to his children distancing themselves over the years. This inquiry is crucial as it touches on loss, grief, self-forgiveness, and the intricate process of making amends. The journey of reconciling with the past, understanding the dynamics of forgiveness, and learning to navigate life after loss are pivotal discussions that hold immense value for many in the recovery journey.I’d like to thank Peter for his vulnerability and readiness to share his story with us today In The Circle. His willingness to be open is a beacon for others navigating similar paths.Tommy discussesThe path to reconciliation and freedomWhy the 12 steps are still relevantThe importance of self-love and forgivenessHow addiction affects everything around youThe process of making amendsFurther Links & ResourcesCatch a Meeting.
