What I bring from my past is my old tapes, my old behaviors and beliefs, and that is what I need to change in today.
If I want a peaceful and serene life, then if I work on my recovery today, it will make for a better tomorrow.
If I keep looking over my shoulder at my past, then I miss out on today. It can also cause me to trip up in today because I am not watchful of the direction I am taking. The decision I make in today are based on yesterday's experiences instead of the good orderly direction from my Higher Power, if I am not focused and spiritual connected in the moment.
There is no right way or wrong way, all we are asked to do is try.
It is a program of practice, and for me application. I can only do what I can do in today. I can't go into those coulda, shoulda, if onlys, not that I don't, but I try to bring myself back when I am aware that is where I am at.
Really, all we do have is the moment. When you think of it, even an hour ago is old news. The day can start in the moment, just for today, I choose not to use.
