Facing addiction squarely and joining a 12 step program to become whole again takes a tremendous commitment – of time, energy, and determination. You learn about addiction, triggers, how to overcome cravings, how to prevent relapse – in short, you gain an entire toolkit of handy strategies and techniques to help you in recovery. When you start working steps and attend meetings, all should be perfect, right? It doesn’t quite turn out that way. There’s still a lot of hard work ahead.
One key element that will further your progress is forgiveness – a big part of recovery.
