Foregivness of self and others who may have harmed you is a huge part of recovery. By forgiving others you forgive yourself. People you may have harmed all you can do is make amends and try to make things right in whatever way makes sense. Never make amends in a way that may cause further harm and you can't expect forgiveness from them.

Letting go of shame and self forgiveness is essential. A key way is confessing every thing to someone you trust very much without holding back anything. Secrets can kill us.

All we can do is keep moving in the right direction overall and not backwards. Learn from mistakes and forgive. Progress not perfection. Three steps forward, two steps back and you gained one step.
