I guess the only reasonable thing to do is to avoid it ever happens again...and possibly hope that some of my close ones choose to pretend they are afflicted with selective amnesia. Horrible day 15.
I understand this Dallow. The shame. The regret. I'm right there with you and I drink over it and get more shame and regret so I drink more. Downward spriral. Let's get off that spiral..it's gonna kill us. We can do this!
