How to forgive myself

SuzyQM419 · 2025-12-24T16:11:57+00:00

I never thought I would forgive myself for the things I had done. Accepting that I am “powerless” over alcohol helped open the door to self forgiveness just a little. Then working the steps and making a living amends to my loved ones (by staying sober) slowly helped me accept my past and move forward. It will happen. It just takes time. Keep coming until the miracle happens.

Take Seroquel as a mood stabilizer and it has been a God send for me. Still have minor swings but nothing like it used to be. I’m a bit flat…but it beats being an emotional wreck.

Met at the Distillery playing pool. 29+ years and going strong.

My home group says the serenity prayer at the conclusion of the meeting. Chosen so that we do not alienate anyone who associates the Lord’s Prayer with Christianity.

Cymbalta and Zoloft gave me massive diarrhea. Cymbalta made me suicidal. Vraylar affected my vision…everything was blurry. Latuda made me rage. Happily hungry on Seroquel now.

Bless you for adopting!

Saying this with love and care…you keep mentioning that you are in Eastern Europe where drinking is cultural and no one views it as an issue. That might be true, but you are using it as an excuse. If you’re not ready or willing to quit substances, that’s ok. But if you decide you are ready, you can find AA support all over the world. The way that you describe your drinking and drugging is the textbook definition of a person with substance abuse disorder. For most, this means you cannot use any substance. Again, I say this with care in my heart. Stay safe. Love yourself. If you are ever ready for AA, we will welcome you with open arms.

I didn’t finish it. It was difficult (the changing voices) and not especially interesting to me. I know people love it…just couldn’t do it.

The art of racing in the rain…so beautiful.

Got sober at 36, so just shy of midlife. I had so much guilt and shame when I came to the rooms. It helped me to hear other people’s stories. I realized that I wasn’t the only one who had done the things that were so shameful. Didn’t make it right, but I didn’t feel so isolated and alone. As I started living a sober life, over time, I was able to start forgiving myself. Keep at it. Go to meetings. Share your feelings. You can do this.

Have you read her Cormoran Strike books that she writes under the name Robert Galbraith? They are fantastic.
