First of all, that's amazing that you're a year clean. That's such a huge effort. Well done. You deserve it. <3

As for your scars, it takes time to accept them, but it does happen. I don't really have any specific advice to be honest. It just happens over time. I didn't notice when I really stopped worrying about my scars. I can't look back and pinpoint when it happened.

Remind yourself everyday that scars are nothing to be ashamed of. We all have scars from injuries and accidents. We also all have good days and bad days. There will be days, even when you fully accept your scars, that you won't want anyone to see them. It's a bit up and down. One down day, or down week, isn't the end of learning to accept them.

Remind yourself that they are SCARS. They are fully healed. They are not open tissues. They are not new. They are old. They are the past, and you overcame this. It's something to be proud of. I hope this helps. x.
