As we get some recovery under our belt, the steps will tell us to let go of yesterday.
For now it is good to remember everything that you can and like Midas said...rewind the tape.

I added to the tape with the thoughts of what could happen if I continue drinking...
#1 Repeat of past mistakes...as bad as they were, that would be the least of my problems.
#2 Maybe hurt or kill someone while drinking and driving?
#3 Increase the severity of my past mistake and/or add more amounts over a shorter period of time.
#4 Get caught for the mistakes of the past or the mistakes to come by continueing and end up in jail.
Oh and remember that vomit smell. That helped a bit as well.
I happened to be wearing a white crushed velvet tux at the time and the car windows were closed when I woke up at 9AM - 80 degrees in the car.
