No Apologies
A quality recovery requires changed habits. A woman began crying as she related painful material, and then said, I'm so sorry for crying. I did not understand why she was apologizing, because it is reasonable to cry when one is in pain. Apologies are appropriate only if we have offended someone. There is no need to efface oneself by apologizing for everything. This is the result of a low self-esteem, which should be corrected. Many of our habitual behaviors are negative and should be changed. If we are not aware of them, our sponsors and trusted friends can point them out to us.
