What are you doing for your recovery right now, today?

I agree with this. I have said and done some not so great things when I was using however those cannot and never will be erased. I cannot spend too much time thinking about stuff like that because it tends to regularly creep up and ruin my serenity.
I constantly have to remember those things I did are a thing of my past and I cannot make them disappear but I can continue to improve my life today.
Many times when those repressed memories pop up I remember that what I said or did in the past happened. I just need to move on and live for today. I constantly need to pinch myself with thoughts like this.
Hell I got this bright idea one day to drunk dial and apologize and or discuss with my cousins/aunts/uncles for some crazy and awkward memories from growing up. Am I proud of doing that? Heck no, but it happened.
What am I doing today?
