When we aren't living up to our own standards and we conduct ourselves in a way that doesn't reflect who we truly are at heart, guilt and shame is typically the end result. The reason why addiction leads to guilt and shame is because we know that we are living well below our own standards and the longer we are struggling, the more guilt and shame builds with it. Even though this can be painful, it is a necessary and important piece to getting on the path to recovery. If you feel like you're overwhelmed with guilt and shame, this episode is for you.
