I'm free from shame now. There is nothing I can't speak openly about. When I censor myself, it's for the comfort of the person to whom I am speaking. I hope you can find the same freedom. Whatever you've done, I'd bet it's not as bad as you think nor is setting things right as impossible as you think.
My guilt is not connected to drinking. Its just a constant feeling of being a bad person at the core. When I am not drinking its no different from when I am. I have not screwed up stuff when drunk so do not have the "drink ruined my life " excuse, I am to blame for all my decisions NOT alcohol.
