I focus daily on doing the most I can in my life. Yes, I always mindful of drinking, etc. but I will damned if I am going to spend my entire life in some kind of penance for the things I did when drunk or for being an alcoholic.
I am proud of who I am and while I have faltered along the way, well I have picked up and learned from it. For me, I kinda say the good Lord gave me the task so I would be ever mindful of all of those around me and how I should not judge. I have become a kinder, warmer open soul because of this experience.
Prior to drinking, I was a good person but I was quit to cast judgement. Kinda funny.
