Really like this, if I don't think or I am not aware of my past, I just might continue to act out in my disease. Like the Five As, I need to be aware I have a problem, I have to admit to it, I have to accept it so I can take action to change my attitude, and/or change my attitude so I can take action.
Another thing I found was that I can't base my future on my past, that person isn't any more. In today, I take my God with me.
