Conceptual framework for the current study. (1) Both forgiveness of self and forgiveness of others have been observed to increase significantly over time during the course of addiction recovery (Krentzman, 2016). (2) Forgiving one’s self has been rated lower than other dimensions of forgiveness (Charzyńska, 2015; Webb et al., 2006; Webb & Brewer, 2010). (3) Forgiveness of self and forgiveness of others share conceptual similarities, therefore, the ability to forgive another should be related to the ability to forgive one’s self at a future time point and vice versa. (4) We offer no a priori hypothesis about whether one dimension of forgiveness might more strongly predict the other, but underscore the importance of investigating this question.
