Longing to return to my past was a major factor that led me to abuse the bottle. A resource I find helpful, loaned to me by Leslie of Better Alternative Counseling in Louisville, is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. She loaned me a boxed variety of 50 inspirational cards.

Here are a few samples:
"How to stop creating time? Realize deeply the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life."
"Acceptance of what is immediately frees you from mind identification and thus reconnects you with Being. Resistance is the mind."
"Enlightenment means choosing to dwell in the state of presence rather than in time. It means saying yes to what is."
"Observe how the mind labels an unpleasant moment and how this labeling process, this conscious sitting in judgment, creates pain and unhappiness"
