Josec- I love the beach! It sounds like you had a great weekend. I am glad your kidneys are better.
Anytime your AV tries to bring up the past to make you feel bad about yourself give yourself positive affirmations. Something like "Yes I did do that but now I am working on things and spending quality time with my wife and family" "that was the old me...I don't do that anymore" It helps and remember everyone has made mistakes....no one is perfect.
