With addiction comes lies, deceit, and betrayal. However, with recovery can come the looming after effects of guilt, shame, and regret. When we get sober, we must learn to love, forgive ourselves, and make peace with our past.
Acknowledging the mistakes we’ve made and moving forward is often easier said than done. Forgiving ourselves requires empathy, compassion, loving, and understanding. It also requires us to accept that forgiveness is a choice.
How to Forgive Yourself
In addition, many of us can hold onto our past mistakes that we feel are not forgivable. We live in fear of forgetting the hurt. Reliving and replaying these feelings over again, we re-traumatize ourselves. However, forgiving does not mean forgetting and staying in this pattern can get us stuck and create a risk for relapse. Learning to love and forgive ourselves is essential to our personal growth, sobriety, and success.
In this week’s SHAIR Recovery Coaching call, the group helped Dustyn who is facing the wreckage of his past. Feeling shame, guilt, anger, and frustration, he’s stuck in self-remorse and self-hatred from his past action in addiction. How do we learn to love and forgive ourselves? The group helps Dustyn put together a step-by-step action plan to begin the healing process of making peace with the past and most importantly, ourselves.

Do you believe that everything happens for a reason? We’re all drawn to different things for different reasons and learning to tap into our intuition can help us find the answers to questions we’ve long asked.
One of the most common ways individuals can find the messages they need to hear is through an oracle deck. This communication vehicle between spirit and human consciousness has long provided guidance for living in alignment with the human heart, soul, and Universe to live up to your deepest desires and experiences. The oracle deck has also long been used to make decisions and point the way to personal development, joy, and prosperity.
When we learn to be gentle with ourselves, the universe, and allow ourselves to have authentic experiences, we can set pure intentions. We can then learn from the oracle deck, discern what the card is telling us, and take action.
On episode 287 of the SHAIR Recovery Podcast, Debbie A. Anderson shares her insight, wisdom, and experience with oracle cards. As one of the leading experts in North America on the use of oracle cards, Debbie guides individuals to maximize their skills with the use of these cards. Born in England, Debbie is also an internationally known clairvoyant who experienced a spirit communicating phenomenon from early childhood. She saw people who had passed over, new information about people that she could not have known, and was told that she was at risk for being institutionalized as psychotic so she suppressed her gifts. Over the years, she ventured out and started using the tarot to guide friends and realized it was not just the cards providing guidance. She was ultimately using her skills to augment what was on the cards.
Debbie has developed specific steps that enable anyone to get the most success out of any oracle deck and to heighten their intuitive skills.

There are so many elements that go into co-parenting, including charged emotions, high anxiety, and dysfunctional dynamics - which is maybe why you got divorced in the first place. Though, what about co-parenting when one person is in recovery and the other person is still in active addiction?
When your children are away and you fear that your ex-husband or ex-wife are going to put your children’s lives in danger, how do you navigate what you can’t control?
In today’s SHAIR Recovery Coaching call, we helped Brandi. Filled with fear, anxiety, and frustration that her ex-husband is putting her children’s life in danger with his drinking, the group holds space for Brandi to process these feelings while setting an actionable plan.
The group also helped Rema. After 34 years on antidepressants, Rema is weaning herself off of her medication. With physical, and emotional symptoms, the group walks her through the process of getting off medications and steps she can take to successfully get off of her medications for good.
