I was just thinking about this tonight. I am 4+ years sober and I was thinking back (for some reason) to a trip to Puerto Rico that I took right before I finally quit. I took some actions while on that 'vacation' that were completely out of character. I feel like apologizing to someone, but the people I offended are unknown to me.

So do I beat myself up? Or do I take solace in my sobriety and achievements today? I think the best thing to do is the latter. In fact, it's the only way to move forward. Drunk behavior gets many people in a LOT of trouble that they can NEVER get away from. Consider yourself lucky that you can walk away from this scare - and move on with a brighter future. Embrace the 'now', embrace your sober decisions, and love your true self, the sober self.
