Thank you for this. As someone in recovery from addiction, I know greatly about shame and despair. Lately, however, I’ve been focusing on agency. And the key, I find, is to keep it small for now. Small things, small victories, small steps, but consistently, and daily. I mean, there really isn’t any other option for big at this time. Small is good, but I’ll aim to keep it up.

Amen. Agency is absolutely key to any kind of recovery. Accepting that God has granted you real agency to act in your life and make small movements toward healing. Proud of you.
