Why do we let go of the past?
Not because we forget it but because we learn from it and refuse to live there anymore. The past holds lessons not life. My mistakes teach me humility. What was done to me teaches me compassion. But neither is meant to be my home.
Letting go isn’t easy. Some days it feels impossible. But holding on can cost me my peace and if I’m honest it can cost me my sobriety. When I lived in yesterday I robbed myself of today. I get stuck in self doubt, self blame and old thinking that kept me sick.
So today I ask the God of my understanding to help me release what I can’t change, learn what I need to learn and walk forward anyway. I don’t have to fix my whole life just stay sober, present and willing today.
The past made me who I am.
But today is where recovery happens.
Good morning with love
Christopher
