I have been in recovery for 24 years. I have been through a few relapses that at the time I did not learn from, but carried quilt and Shame that caused me to have feelings that lead to my next relapse. Today I have learned to embrace my addiction and communicate with family and friends without past guilt and shame. I was tired of feeling bad for something that I believe was genetically predisposed too. I found away to embrace the disease of addiction.
