Hi guys,
Much better day today. The further I get away from a binge like that, the better things go. I have finally forgiven myself, stopped beating myself up, and decided to learn from it and move on. Lesson learned = gotta find new! non-drinking friends and avoid the old drinking buddies in bars, at least for the foreseeable future. Painful but it's gotta be done. I have reached a point now where sobriety is more important than my friendships, period.
