I'm sick. What better to remind you of your humanness than those times when you feel so weak. And are at the same time faced with your shortcomings and failures.

If you think you're too far from Allah to return, and your 'past' continues to own you, just remember that Malik ibn Dinar (RA) was an alcoholic, and Omar (RA) was on his way to assassinate the Prophet (pbuh) before they became two of the greatest souls to walk the earth!
