Forgiveness is truly a key component in establishing a strong foundation for your recovery. When you forgive someone, and I mean truly forgive, without any attachments then you will have eliminated the negative thoughts that are attached when you’re holding grudges. Forgiveness takes time and thoughtfulness. 3 tips for forgiveness:

  1. Identify the exact reason you are holding resentment
  2. Trade places with that person for a moment and try to look at the situation(s) from a different perspective.
  3. Stay focused on today and the future.
