No More Shame

Today is 6 months. 6 months of sobriety.

Emotions are high, but the truth is still in tack. I’m sober.

Emotions are high because the trauma that leads to addiction is a lifetime of healing and walking through recovery.

I wouldn’t trade this sobriety for anything. My relationship with God is so precious. I’m still grieving my losses. I need to stay broken over that, as a reminder, like a well worn scar. It happened. I did destroy things that were precious to me because of my addiction. I’m not proud, but neither am I ashamed. Or at least that is what I am working toward. Putting it out there, exposing it to the light. So that the shame has to disappear. I am not alone. Even if it appears that the whole world has better things to do… God is walking with me, loving me, and leading me in His peace and grace.
