You say you’ve moved on. That you’ve forgiven. But your body? Your breath? Your triggers? They tell a different story. In today’s episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, I explore the hidden cost of unforgiveness—especially the kind that’s directed at you. The version of you who stayed too long. Who drank to survive. Who tried to hold it all together while silently falling apart. We’ve been sold a lie: that forgiveness is letting someone else off the hook. But real forgiveness? It’s about letting you off the hook. Because alcohol didn’t just numb the pain—it numbed the truth. And that truth needs to be met with compassion, not control. Let’s rewrite the old story your PARTS are still carrying. Let’s return to SELF. 🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn: – Why alcohol often masks unresolved self-blame – How unforgiveness can keep you stuck in the past – The simple practice that helps you forgive yourself – Why forgiveness is power—not passivity And remember: you don’t need a drink. You need you. #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #Forgiveness #SelfCompassion #QuitDrinking #SoberCurious #EmotionalHealing #IFS #AlcoholRecovery #LetGoAndLive #DailySobriety #ForgiveYourself #SelfLedLiving #TheLiquidLie
