I was running from my past -- from my childhood, from my teenage year, and from my marriage. Basically I was running from my whole life. The whole thing had been very painful and i didn't know how to handle it. Plus I didn't know how to handle day-to-day living -- no one ever taught me how. I was great in a crisis -- I could take over and get things done! But not every-day things - I was lost and I was numb. 
Thru sobriety (and therapy) I learned how to put things behind me, to make amends for things I had done, and to learn how to live in TODAY. I had always projected into the future, but I don't do that anymore --I just live in the here and now as that's all we're given.  I have a new freedom due to AA and my higher power. I can't ask for more than that!
