I have the same thoughts. I don't like to waste time, and as I get older, I realize just how precious time is. However, what's done is done, so it's also unproductive to spend too much time concerning myself with the time I lost while boozing. Although, I do think it's important to remember the pain and waste of my boozing past. But I try not to let those memories interfere with my goal to take advantage of every moment I have left on this earth.
