19 months in recovery, on my ninth step working a good program. Managing a sober living, got my ged and am haunted by my past. With this criminal record it’s not what I want to be career wise… it’s what can I be?? I have been seriously struggling with future tripping. I’m 29 and it’s sad to say that I’m just thinking of my future now??

Can kinda relate a bit. Best thing for me is take it day by day. Baby steps. Look at the mountains, the leaves on the trees, say a prayer to stay in the moment, the day, and believe it or not you’ll be surprised by what good things come your way. I know my advice seems silly but it’s the best I’ve got when I’m on a future trip/past punishment moment….
Your past doesn’t define you and your education doesn’t either. I have a GED and had a fine career. Criminal record too and when the judges sees someone doing the right thing they are way more inclined to set things aside. Good things come to those doing good things…
