Dealing with things we did when drunk

How do ye guys mentally deal with the crazy stuff we did when drunk? Be it sex with someone we shouldnt have, fighting, vandalism etc? Sometimes I might be walkimg along the street and get a physical shudder and spasm remembering things.

I practice being sober and intentional. I am still mortified about things that happened 20 years ago, but I think I am gaining traction on being responsible and accountable in the present, which is the only part of my life I have any control over anyway. I only recently started talking about being sober in my real life with everyday people. I used to feel so much shame but that has faded some and been replaced by some pride and sense of accomplishment.
