I can feel the self respect returning. Which is a sign that my guilt is lessening from my drinking episode.
I hold on to the guilt but won't let it consume me.
After a drinking episode, I worry that I can't look people in the eye, as I have done something shameful.
This feeling is diminishing.
I am determined to consider my addiction every day. If I don't, I become complacent and this leaves me vulnerable to when my AV tries it's ********.
