PERFECTION:

~

“If I was really recovering, I wouldn’t be doing that again…” “I
should be further along than I am.” These are statements that we
indulge in when we’re feeling shame.

Remember, shame blocks us. But self-love and acceptance enable
us to grow and change. If we have truly done something we feel
guilty about, we can correct it with an amend and an attitude of
self-acceptance and love.

Even if we slip back to our old ways of thinking, feeling, and
behaving, we do not need to be ashamed. We all regress from time
to time. That’s how we learn and grow. Relapse, or recycling, is an
important and necessary part of recovery.

Much pain comes from trying to be perfect. Perfection is impossible
unless we think of it in a new way: Perfection is being who and
where we are today; it’s accepting and loving ourselves just as we
are.
