I remember in early sobriety I struggled (as many do) with trying to find things to fill my time. Alcohol had made it feel OK to do nothing more than flip through the channels. Boredom seemed to accompany sobriety.
Now I can't figure out how to get everything done that I want to do. There's so much. I want to do it all. I will be 57 this year. There's time, but not as much as there used to be. How could a person fit it all in during one lifetime?
Not spending decades flipping through the channels would have been a nice start. I refuse to wallow in my regrets to the point it degrades my present, but it's impossible to not recognize it for what it was. lessgravity's signature states, "I've paid enough, I'm not paying any more". Perhaps I'll change mine to state, "I've wasted enough, I'm not wasting any more".
