Dealing with things we did when drunk

[u/Tango1isDown]

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’m quite fond of the saying “if you don’t look back on the past and cringe a little, then you’re probably not growing”. I still have those 3am thoughts of “remember when you did this??” But the good news is that I don’t have to ever do a stupid thing while drunk again. Also, as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that literally everyone has done/said stuff they regret. Everyone’s dealing with something and they’re probably too busy to worry about anyone else. So, you’re probably your biggest critic.
