Any advice for getting over this humiliation.

I know all of us that are problem drinkers have humiliated ourselves but Its driving me nuts..If it wasn't at work it may not be so bad. Other then this one thing I am doing well. But I need to figure out how to let it go..Any advice? or will it just go away in time?

For me...
I found when I did my AA Steps 4 and 5
I let go of all my drinking guilt and started fresh.

Just my experience...

Well, one thing I'd be pretty sure of is that if you stay sober, you probably aren't going to humiliate yourself at work again.

In time your continuing actions in a positive direction are going to make people forget all about what you did in your past.

People have short memories is the truth. Keep doing the next right thing, putting one foot in front of the other, don't pick up, and it'll all blow over in time ... heck, it might even come to be endearingly hilarious in hindsight considering how much "NOT like that" you're likely to become ...

For me I just "let go and let God" and also tell my AA friends when somethings bothering me. Like Anne after awhile I'll be doing step 4 & 5 when I'm done with the first 3.

it's part of the process. You catch yourself faster and faster
everytime...yes you will make mistakes over and over again.
You'll make them until something click inside of you.

it's okay to argue with yourself thou. A part of you knows
the truth, another part of you resist changes.
But it's still a healthy thing to do..becuase now you're
starting to have a dialog with yourself.
In other words getting to know yourself better.

Your consicouse mind also keeps you in the cycle
of denial. it's so you can function in your current state.
Contrary to what you might think.
That's why it might seem difficult or confussing at first, because
you're asking ...I know this..so why can't i change it.

well...becuase of being addictied to outside chemicle
you're also addicted to internal chemicle or your brain
has become accustom to certian sets of perimeters or routine.
mmm..behaviors becuase you react to how your brain is wired.

Sometimes it's best to just stop thinking all together.
becuase you're serching for answers in your current thinking pattern.
The answer ly outside of your thinking.

all of the shame, guilt, humiliations...your brain gernerated that.
that's what keeps in the cycle as will...yes it's that cunning.

DON'T PICK UP NO MATTER WHAT....now, how much thinking
are you going to do with that ???
it's too damn simple it makes your brain hurts becuase your brains
wants to complicate the shiet out of it. Because of all the lies, scehemes,
secrets, all the games you played with your using to complicate
everything..if it's complicated..maybe people can't figure it out.
The only problems is...your brain fooled you too and gotten into
automode of complicate everything.

Hell freezes over when you accept it.
in other words..it stops you from thinking any farther. it lights
up all of the dark clouds in your brain. it wakes you up.
to a higher awearness...some would call it a spiritual awaakening
or self actualization..not to confuse with self absorb, self centerness.
it gives you a starting piont...not what you wish it to be, or want to be,
not what if or what could have been. It gives you reality of what is.

Helping someone with no concern of personal gain AWAYS helps me. It gets me away from my "ISM". "I, Self, Me"
