Has anyone else felt these feelings of shame and regret when going off the rails, and what did you do to get them out of your head?
I don't have hangovers and my my regret is minimal. But I'm constantly re-assessing the situation, so obviously I can't drink like a normal person. I don't even know what a normal person looks like at this point. If I see a person nursing a beer in a social situation, I want to go the parking lot and chug 3 in a row.
