Found this quote today and thought I would share. It deals with the mental change that many people go through when working a program to get sober and the change in outlook that they experience because of it. Remember, we can spend out time being remorseful for the things we did or didn't do, or we can learn from those experiences and use them for growth in our new way of living.

"What happened to our years of drinking and using other drugs? They seemed to pass so quickly with so little to show for them. We had plans, but we didn’t get where we wanted to go. There was always “tomorrow.”
What a difference today! Now we work a program that helps us really live each day. We’re not losing time out of our lives anymore. Now every day is full of life: sights, sounds, people, feelings---those things we used to miss out on."
