I had to do a lot of work today to stop feeling guilty. Lots of people had trouble with getting back to the food this week. I eventually figured out that it served no useful purpose to indulge in that feeling and that I have worked diligently for a long time already to get to this place. Not that I think I am always going to feel this confident, but I continue to believe it so that it will be so. I am NOT going to feel guilt about where I am and at the same time continue to have compassion for everyone struggling with addictions of any kind.
Technology difficulties today so will leave it at that, elly
"Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilty and I'll show you a man". Erica Jong
The nice thing about feeling quilty about our own success is that it allows us to sabotage that success so as to eliminate the guilt. NOT! You did it the right way by simply chucking the guilt. Good for you Elly. I know thats hard for you but you deserve to feel good. And like you said. You can still have compassion for others.
