Stop living in the Past

You can't Change it but You can Change what You do today. I would love to go back and change alot of the things I did in my past but thats not going to happen no matter how hard I try . I'm not saying you have to forget where you came from I'm saying to keep your eyes on today if Your eyes are always on your past it's going to be hard for You to move forward. no one cares what I did or how much I used they want to know what I'm doing to stay Clean and Sober and how it may or may not work for them. We all have a Past but thats just what it is a Past so if anything I think for me it was very helpful for me to move on and move forward into Today.

The only thing I Hope for Everyone is they Find what it take's to bring them out of Addiction into a Better Life and to leave the Past where it belongs in the Past. (Again I'm not saying to forget where you came from) Just to move on.

Good Luck Everyone

" i thank you for this post. i was taught to visit the past, but do not stay there. when i go take someone with me to the past because my past is to painful for me to visit by myself.

what has been happening lately is that my past is presenting itself with people coming up to me asking "where do they know me from"? i inform that it is my twin sister they have mistaken me for. (i do not have a twin sister). it usually works. "

" Great post.
Since i have been clean i have been hit blow by blow with medical issues. some stemming from a abusive ex some from my drug use.
It has left me disabled and living a very different life. i often sit and wonder what if. However what if can not happen cause i done did. This is why i try so hard to share my stories and experiences with those younger than i am i hope that even if just one stops because i shared with them well then at least my wasted life was not totally wasted "
