We in AA are taught to live for today and to shut out all regrettable yesterdays. This philosophy is good, but it does not mean that we can cut off yesterdays as though they never existed.

We do not need to lament over misspent yesterdays, but we should salvage what was good in them to help construct our new way of life.
