As they say, don't look back, you're not going that way.

Perfect advice to my drama queen 22 y/o daughter on her first real "big girl" job after graduating from college; I can't wait to tell her: "it's not about what happened, it's what happens next." Thank you!<br /><br />And thank you too, I've been successfully navigating life without wine. Very minor slip ups but right back on and now, 46lbs lighter (I don't know what that converts to in stones) I have the wine witch whispering that since I could conquer the weight thing, I am surely strong enough to conquer the weight thing, i.e. drinking in moderation. I've been telling myself that I'd much rather be a certain size (smaller) than toasted on the coach in the evening. But now instead of thinking about what I've done in the past and how crappy that was, now I can tell myself to no longer dwell on what went wrong in the past but what will I do next, what will I do going forward? I like that approach so much better! Thank you!

Was my mantra when I was struggling. I knew what was going to happen if I kept drinking-it wasn't good- I wanted to see what was going to happen if I quit.
