With so much shame built around pornography, forgiveness and gratitude are two of the most important aspects of recovery.
Shame will hold you back and prevent you from moving forward every time. When you learn to forgive yourself and others around you, you're able to view life in a new perspective.
Similarly, when you are grateful about these positive changes, when you're grateful for what you have, and when you're grateful for those in your life, a new mindset will begin to develop. One that is healthy, motivated, and ready to rock out recovery!
