Yes. At over 13mo I still remember and CRINGE! I was an A$$ my second to last time, infront on my in laws and close friends too... The worse part is that none of them thought "it was that bad", but it just bothered and bothers me a lot. I just never want to be that person again. That nasty feelng was what really pushed my sobriety at first, that and the guilt I felt for being hungover infront of my daughter.

I remember and cringe but I use it as fuel. I remember all the bad things that have happened to me while inebriated and I feel disgusted and determined to never be back there again. As PP said, all those experience made me who I am so I don't dwell in the past. I am at peace with it now after actively doing some self work.

It is so true that there is a difference between sobriety and being dry and I am thankful for having learned that here. There is a lot of discussion on this topic so there's lot to learn.
