Love it! I did have those regrets as well. I guess these show the tension between “what you did” and “what you now do”. Addiction controls us, it overrides our internal systems. My personal experience is this: after years of therapy and digging deep, I accepted the answers that emerged. This process liberated me from the past. Regrets were remnants of that past. Now, I focus on how well I feel being sober. But every path is different. Thank you for showing up so truly.

I love this post!!! It really resonated with me. I’m a 67 year old who drank for 40 years throughout adulthood and it really ramped-up in my 40s through mid 60s to manage social anxiety and career stress. I am 2 years AF thanks to Annie Grace and her book/programs This Naked Mind. I just bought your book on kindle and look forward to reading it!!
