Statement Nine: Letting Go of the Past

In this episode, we discuss Statement Nine of the WFS "New Life" program. The past is gone forever. No long will I be victimized by the past. I am a new woman. From this episode: ... we are often reminded by others of our past transgressions when we become sober; it is up to us to learn how to respond to these situations without becoming embroiled in self-doubt and self-hatred, as these are states which frequently lead to relapse. Statement Nine provides us with a framework for this understanding. The words are simple, but they resonate very deeply with the essence of what it means to be in recovery.
