The Sober Connection
Season 2 - Episode 17: Letting Go of Guilt & Regret
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Guilt and regret don’t always disappear when you stop drinking.
In fact, for many people, sobriety brings clarity — and with it, memories, shame, and self-judgement that can feel hard to shake.
In this episode, Abi explores why guilt lingers, the difference between healthy responsibility and toxic shame, and how self-forgiveness becomes a crucial part of moving forward. She shares a personal reflection, talks through when making amends is helpful (and when it isn’t), and offers a short guided journaling prompt to help you relate to your past with compassion instead of punishment.
This episode is for anyone who’s tired of replaying old stories — and ready to release the weight of who they used to be.
