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.
