Do you have regrets about something in your past?

Question

Is there something that you wish you could do over differently if you had a second chance to it?

Answer 1

I regret quite a few things and wish that they didn't happen. However, I can't change them now.

Answer 2

Yes, I regret all sorts of things.  I pour over things I have said, done, and thought about doing.  It is one of my main issues.  Constantly in my head I'm punishing myself for things I've done or not done.  

Answer 3

I have many regrets, but I don't want to do most of them over. The few that I do, I just wish I knew how it would have turned out, but they have to do with a person and he is happy so I wouldn't want to change that.

Answer 4

honestly yeah its something i regret every time we are around each other...i just miss the way we were any day that the opportunity presents itself i will be more than happy to try again  

Answer 5

Hydro,

We all have ghosts hanging in our closets whether we are young or old and many of us carry them with us on a daily basis, but never want to speak about them as they raise bad memories.

Answer 6

I with pixz.  If I had not been addicted, I would not have to work another day in my life.  I was set, and blew almost all of it.  Unlike Pixz, I didn't have to do harsh things to get my fix, I had a nestegg.  Note the word 'had'.  I still have some of the 'wreckage of the past' left to clean up - bills, back taxes, etc. - but I have come through it stronger.  I have a great partner who is also in recovery, and the only solace I can take from my addiction is that it led us together.  

I would also have never given up my government job.  I could be ten years from full retirement by now.  

Answer 7

Yes there is. It would probably change me entire life but I would do it in a heartbeat if I could.

Answer 8

I've had a pretty harsh past. I was addicted to drugs, alcohol, you name it. I did some pretty awful things in order to get my fix. Nevertheless, there is a reason why I went through that self-inflicted h**l. I found my purpose through everything that I've done in my past, and that is to help others who struggle with addiction. Having been there, and done that, I feel that I have a large understanding of the struggles that addicts face when they are attempting to get clean.

There is nothing else in my past that I would change outside of that, as well. Everything that I've done and all that I've gone through has made me into the person that I am today. Who's to say that changing one thing wouldn't make my life and character totally different? Honestly, I wouldn't want to change a thing. I like who I am, and what I've become. The past molded me, and taught me how to live a fuller, better life.  

Answer 9

Yes I wish I had spent more time with my Grandmother when she was still healthy. She passed away 2 years ago.
