Dear Cambell, I went through the same "how did I get myself into this mess"? I kept trying to figure out what had happened. Then I heard something in an AlAnon meeting that really resonated with me. Someone said "it's okay to look back, but don't stare". It helped me realize it wasn't helping me move forward if I kept staring back.
It is what it is. Can't go back and change anything now. But I can work on me moving forward, I can continue to go to meetings, and learn from the wisdom that is shared. I can make better choices moving forward. And so can you.
