How to forgive yourself for a stupid choice and just move on?
Basically I think I'm about to fail a drug test for a really great internship that wouldve paid $22 an hour and it would have been a great stepping stone towards my career. I did not want to do anything to fake the test except exercise and fluids. I took a home test for THC right before I had to go to the lab and the home test was positive. So I am pretty sure I'm gonna fail. I quit about 3 weeks before the test, when I found out I had to take it. I am so devastated that something like a little bit of pot is ruining this opportunity for me. I've been crying, barely sleeping at all, and I am literally sick to my stomach because I am so upset at myself. I feel so depressed. I am trying to accept it and move on with my life but all day and all night I am just filled with hatred for myself and my stupidity. I am so angry and upset with myself. Im having a hard time getting out of bed, and Im so nauseous and stressed out I can hardly eat. I keep trying to tell myself I am a good person, I have a 3.7 gpa in college and I work so hard in school, and this failed UA is not gonna prevent me from finding a career... but i cant get the guilt and anger out of my mind. WHEN WILL THIS GUILT GO AWAY!

"Once you realize your past is just a story, it has no power over you."
"Don't let the past ruin your future."
"The best way to lead a good life is to be able to deal with the bad things that come your way as best as you can, shrug it off and move on."
"Being stuck in the past is like walking forward with your back facing the front. You’ll always miss out on what’s in front of you."
In other words, you still have tons of time. Let time heal your pain. It will take a while and a lot of effort but you can do it. :)
