Forgiveness Practice: Release Resentment and Reclaim Your Peace
Resentment is a weight that keeps you anchored to the past. In recovery, unresolved anger toward yourself and others becomes one of the biggest relapse triggers. This course teaches you the psychology and practical mechanics of forgiveness, self-forgiveness for the damage your addiction caused, forgiving those who enabled or were harmed, the art of making meaningful amends, and building a life that moves forward without bitterness. This is not about excusing harm. It's about choosing freedom.
