As we appraoch the new year of 2008, we can reflect on what were our dreams of 2007, a year ago tomorrow.
Myself, I had just discovered my addiction and my recovery from the disease of my obsession with on-line computer games. That realization was not enough for me to only dream that I had enough, for my tomorrow proved I had not yet had, enough.
May these quotes about "tomorrow", instill within you a sense, a dream, a HOPE that this new year of 2008 will bring you into complete recovery from the obsession and compulsion to game!

Thanks for the redirection, but what i was trying to say, was that tomorrow never comes, we have to decide that today is the day for recovery, not tomorrow.

"I've shut the door on yesterday,
And thrown the key away.
Tomorrow holds no fears for me,
Since I have found today."
-- Vivian Yeiser Laramore Feeling guilty or ashamed about the past - about what we did or did not do, about what happened to us, about who we were - can be our undoing. We must work long and hard in our recovery to work through these feelings, not to forget the past - for it informs all that we value in ourselves today - but to put the past into perspective. After we've taken an inventory and grieved our losses we must forgive ourselves. In forgiving ourselves we can let go of the past and live in today. With our program of recovery, looking back is not as frightening as it once was. And today we do not have to bear what we find alone. A new year, a new life, can be ours. Love and friendship, support and spiritual growth are waiting for us today. Our yesterdays are over, and we can look to the future with joy and anticipation.
