In recovery, it’s common to look back with self-judgment — wishing you had known sooner, chosen differently, or healed faster. But the ways we cope are often shaped by what we needed to survive at the time.
Healing begins when we meet ourselves with compassion instead of blame. You learned what you could, when you could. Recovery isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about honoring what it taught you and continuing forward with patience and care.
If this speaks to you, let it be a reminder: forgiveness is part of the healing process. 🤍
