I know the things I have done do not define me but it’s still hard to not think back upon them in this process and not take the gravity of those actions. I pray that I can find forgiveness and understanding and if possible amend where I can. Remorse is strong today as is disappointment. I lost my job because of an accident and things are just hitting hard today

We can think n process these memories but don't dwell on them. I can't live in regret and guilt or I'll drink again. Forgive yourself
ODAAT!!!

Hey Eddie! I hope your day got a little bit better. Like the others have said, just keep working the steps and most importantly dont beat yourself up over the past. You’re human - it’s okay to screw up! You just need to work on getting better so you can clear your side of the street, move forward and hopefully avoid repeating those actions

“We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.” - Promise 3. A much more eloquent way of saying ‘you live you learn’ in my opinion. And you must remember, intentions and actions are not synonymous. Eventually both should align for the better, but very often we as addicts get hung up in the minutia. Perhaps our actions and intentions did align for the worse on some occasions. But I’m guessing if you are similar in any way to myself and many others, that our actions were completely and extremely different than our initial intentions on most incidents. Keep the faith and give it to God. Love you brother.
