Sometimes, It's Best to Let Something Go and Begin Again - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Things happen in our lives that we find hard to accept. Thoughts come to trouble us time and time again. When something happens in our lives that we find difficult to accept, we must decide if there is anything we can do to change things. If there is, we must do what we have done all we can, and we know in our hearts that there is nothing more we can do about it now, then we should let go of whatever is troubling us.

After going over all the "what ifs" and "why", we may learn a valuable lesson. And we find that even though it was painful, we grew through the experience. Just learning to let things go, rather than worrying about what might have been, might eventually be worth even more than whatever it is we had to let go of.
