Accepting the past?

Hello all:

Since I first posted a little over a month ago, I've been working my own program pretty successfully. I've stumbled once or twice, but have gotten back up and on the horse, and I'm proud of the progress I've made.

However, one of the toughest parts for me recently has been coping with and accepting the years of reckless drinking in my past, and how my life is irrevocably changed now because of them. Perhaps it's just part of the recovery roller coaster, but this has gotten me pretty down the past few days.

Do you folks have any good strategies or thoughts for dealing with accepting our actions in the past, and the reality of our present and future?

Thanks.
