Let me help release you from the shame and the pressure you're putting on yourself about being an addict. Listen, there is divinity in everything. There is divinity in your trauma because it is there to push you into a healing journey. There is divinity in addiction because the addiction experience is there to show you what trauma was there to push you into a healing experience. There's divinity in relapse. It's there to show you what you're missing in your addiction, to get to the trauma, to help you heal. There's divinity in your recovery journey because you're taking all that learning and you're embodying it and you're creating the best and highest life you could ever, ever, ever experience. When you accept that there is a divine individualized curriculum just for you and that everything is on purpose, you are released from the shame and the guilt and the doubt, and you allow your best and highest to come through.
