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.
