Healthy shame is an emotion that teaches us about our limits. Like all emotions, shame moves us to get our basic needs met.

Recovery begins with embracing our pain and taking the risk to share it with others. We do this by joining a group and talking about our pain.

Hell, in my opinion, is never finding your true self and never living your own life or knowing who you are.

You can't heal what you can't feel!

To be shame-bound means that whenever you feel any feeling, need or drive, you immediately feel ashamed. The dynamic core of your human life is grounded in your feelings, needs and drives. When these are bound by shame, you are shamed to the core.

We move from the illusion of certainty, to the certainty of illusion

To truly be committed to a life of honesty, love and discipline, we must be willing to commit ourselves to reality.
