No.. I wasted years while I was still using.. now that I've been sober for a little over a year things are falling back into place but slowly.. but the years I wasted just makes me sick thinking about it..
Not when you where in the depths of livinghell and can’t get out. So I’m good where I’m at, might not be as fun as it used to be but better than my best day in that state for sure.

@amber323672 First of all.
CONGRATULATIONS on your 437 days of sobriety. Keep up the good work.
Second .... We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. Yes, we wasted all that time drinking and drugging. Yet we use that experience as our greatest asset to help others.

I feel the same way. I used and drank my entire adult life, and I’m 38 now. I try to remember that I am only where I am today because of the things I’ve been through - that helps put things into perspective

You can’t change the past don’t dwell on it 
I try not to live in regrets. I’m happy to be here. I’ve lost lots of friends on the way. My partying years ago is part of my journey. Now my sobriety is my journey and sharing it. Enjoy your day. Thank you for your reflections and your post.
I sure have, and today I'm clinging to the promise of sobriety and freedom from those bad choices.
I hope you feel better soon.
For a while.. it gets better though
My program teaches me to not regret the past never wish to shut the door., but to look at as a learning experience that I might help someone with someday.
