Take it easy and be kind to yourself
No matter what you’ve done and how much regret you have remember to take it easy and be kind to yourself. No good comes from beating yourself up; just more self-hatred and pain. Be kind to yourself; if at the very least you are sober then that’s a real achievement to be proud of. Never forget that.
Grateful to be sober.

Think it's from Jordan Peterson but I like:
Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping.
If that was the case, that you were assigned to "help" yourself, objectively, from an outsider's perspective, what would you do?

Thank you , brighter day and less gravity, I have been beating myself up for a week now, been sober 7 days today, I had my first full blown blackout last week , do not remember the last 2-3 hours of night, I am so ashamed and embarrassed , and terrified of ever having another one that I decided to quit drinking , it's no longer fun it has not been for awhile, I felt like such a loser I am driving to work calling myself a loser, I went back to apologize to the bar I was at , people told me not to do that , but it was killing me, they were very good and supportive and said I was not out of control but a lot drunker than they have ever seen me. I told them I probably will never be back I was quitting alcohol for good. I hope that statement remains true. I guess it will take time before I stop beating myself up.
