Letting the past go can be tough. The more distance you have between the past and who you are becomming, the easier it becomes. The thing that has really helped me is that I now realize I can learn from the past without dwelling (beating myself up) on it. One of our esteemed fellows on this site has the sig..."every saint has a past; every sinner a future". When new here my addictive mind shredded it to meaningless bits of rubbish with incisive analysis; now at 8 months it makes perfect sense. Also there is a general consensus that most people don't really start feeling balanced until about a year. Again; early on I though it too was rubbish. For me now it's not. I've found real wisdom in the words of those who are now sober and living balaced productive lives. I want what they've got; and know I am going to get it.
