It takes time to change. It does not happen all at once; you decide to go to therapy and become well and, next morning you wake up and you are all healthy and happy.

When I was a child in the 1950's, my three brothers and I were rationed on how much Coca Cola we were allowed each week, it was a treat, not something one had whenever one wanted one. We were each given a bottle (glass bottles :-) and issued a "stopper" (no screw on lids) and we'd drink a couple swallows and put it back in the refrigerator with a piece of scratch paper, our name on it, scotch taped to it. My brothers were older than I and would drink almost all of theirs and then switch the name papers so they had my bottle and I had theirs My stepmother had three younger brothers so she wasn't fooled by that tactic and would save my day, LOL.

In a sense, if you think about it, we had our Coke and drank it too? All things take time, and for awhile, we can live life and imagine it differently or remember it differently. In a sense, the past and the imagined and actual future are in the present moment.
