THE PAST:

Holding on to the past, either through
guilt, longing, denial, or resentment,
is a waste of valuable energy – energy
that can be used to transform today
and tomorrow.

"I've been recovering now for years,
and it has taken me almost as many
years to gain the proper perspective
on my past. I'm learning I can't forget
it; I need to heal from it. I need to
feel and let go of any feelings I still
have, especially anger."

"I need to stop blaming myself for
painful events that took place, and
trust that everything has happened on
schedule, and truly all is okay." I've
learned to stop regretting, and to start
being grateful."

"When I think about the past, I thank
my Higher Power for the healing and
the memory. If something occurs that
needs an amend, I make it and am
done with it. I've learned to look at
my past with compassion for myself,
trusting that my Higher Power was in
control, even then."

"I've even developed gratitude for my
failed relationships because they have

brought me to who and where I am
today."

"What I've learned has been
acceptance – without guilt, anger,
blame, or shame. I've even had to
learn to accept the years I spent feeling
guilty, angry, shameful, and blaming."

We cannot control the past. But we can
transform it by allowing ourselves to

heal from it and by accepting it with
love for ourselves and others.
