Hi Panache. First, YES it fades. Please don't think those memories will haunt you forever. I was so upset with myself that I almost started up drinking again just to turn off my thoughts. When I first came to SR, people warned me that I needed to let go of the past or I'd remain on square one.
Guilt, remorse, regret - don't go there, Panache. Rise above it and reach out for your new life. You're going to make this work.
