Hmm...
you could ask each one their opinion
on how to improve your relationship.
It might be enlightening to hear what
they think of you and your actions.

Time makes this easier. It's one of the reasons it takes 8 steps to get to that ninth. The change happens and, then it's proven over time.
The more you allow growth, through humility, the farther away the person you were becomes. It's almost like someone hit a "reset" button. You're a new you. The old you, and things you've done.. although not forgotten, isn't worth fretting over anymore.
Bottom, line this is normal for now and only gets easier!

I would say the best way to get over it is tell the important ones,or the ones you are feeling bad about you are sorry.
The first few months I sobered up I was an emotional rollercoaster. I had read over and over that that would happen. But the first few months I didn't realize it was happening. I kep't reading it, but said, It isn't happening to me.
Looking back it no doub't was. As Alizerin says it also takes time.
Hang in there.

That's why you don't see me posting all that often on the 'funny things you did while drunk' threads very much.
Because, when I look back on it,
from within sobriety...it's not funny at ALL.
Until you get there in the steps -
one truth stands solid
and that is
Actions speak louder than words.
always have always will.

Echoing others--time and action. I couldn't rebuild relationships overnight. All I can do is patiently work towards becoming a better person, and those relationships work themselves out in one way or another. It is a process that never ends.

p. 66
"We began to see that the world and its people really dominated us"
People controlled me from start to finish. I had to lash out and mistreat them. I had no choice, otherwise I would have been nice instead, like I really wanted to.
p. 45
"Lack of power, that was our dilemma. We had to find a power by which we could live"
"Well, that's exactly what this book is about. Its main object is to enable you to find a Power greater than yourself which will solve your problem."
