Exactly! When I first stopped drinking, I had a very hard time letting things go. I would just keep replaying my past actions over and over in my head. I felt so incredibly ashamed and guilty and horrible that I had let everyone down.
Reliving the past is a waste. It happened, and there is nothing I can do about it now. Might as well focus on my sobriety and changing my future. It's good to not forget the past, because it reminds us of why we're choosing sobriety, but don't live there.
