Life moves forward
The past is past. Over. Finished. "My" job is to move with the flow of the present. "I" am propelled by what went before, but "I" do not try to swim against the current of my present life by regretting or yearning for old times.
Each day releases me from the past and gives me a fresh start. "I" can put behind me the misery of compulsive behavior -"I" certainly don't yearn to re-experience that! Though the good times of the past will stay in my memories, my mind needs to be focused on the present.
"I" don't fear what lies ahead, since it is in the hands of my Higher Power. My task is to earnestly seek to know and do my Higher Power's will for me today so that we will keep moving with the stream of goodness that wends through my lives. Trust and confidence support me as I face forward.
Living
my life today keeps me steady in the present and ready for the future.
