Through The Glass Recovery Podcast
Education:Self-Improvement
You hear over and over in the recovery community that resentment leads to relapse. And while that might be a bit harsh, it's also not far from the truth. Carrying around resentment can build up all kinds of negative feelings inside of us that can lead us to want to escape. In this episode, we talk with Eliza, Matthew, and Alex about letting go of resentment by practicing forgiveness.
"There is no timetable for forgiveness."
Some of the topics we cover include:
"Forgiveness is a two way street. Acceptance is a one way street."
Eliza mentions MAT, which is Medication Assisted Treatment. You can read more about it here.
Alex mentions the book This Naked Mind, which has helped thousands of people recover from addiction. Learn about the book, and author Annie Grace at thisnakedmind.com
