 Feeling Guilty Can Be A Good Sign | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 05:16

Growing up, weren’t we all taught that when we feel guilty about something, that’s our conscience telling us we’ve done something ‘wrong’?  I know I was. So when I was married to a good man suffering from addiction, dealing with feelings of guilt was hard, because I assumed I was in the wrong.  I have a different idea: feeling guilty can actually be a sign that you’re doing the right thing, and that you’re on the right path. https://loveoveraddiction.com/feeling-guilty-is-a-sign
