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.
