I do it by remaining abstinent. As was already mentioned, people forget after awhile. I also do what tomsteve and Phoenix said. I acknowledge it as truth. I mean there's no denying I did some pretty sh*tty stuff. You can't unring a bell, but you can live differently. You can't right drunken wrongs already committed, but you can stop further drunken wrongs by remaining abstinent. That's the only way I know how to atone.
