Shame is what fuels addiction. It fuels it, and when we get into our active addiction, we do more things that we can feel shameful about. Basically, guilt says I made a mistake. Shame says I am a mistake.
Ever felt like there's a shadow over your every move, whispering that you're not good enough? Elizabeth Edwards dives into this in 'Guilt vs. Shame' on Giving Voice to Recovery. She breaks down how guilt, which nudges us to correct our mistakes, differs from shame, that insidious belief that we're fundamentally flawed. Elizabeth argues that shame is the real culprit behind addictive behaviors, convincing us we're unworthy of love and happiness.
She shares insights on how understanding this difference can be a game-changer in recovery, emphasizing personal growth and accountability. Elizabeth also touches on the dangers of shaming others in recovery and the importance of setting healthy boundaries. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that could help you or someone you love on the path to sobriety.
