@ Snowdog - thank you, your a sweetheart

The damage I did while I was drunk is barely repairable. I've lost friends, embarrassed myself in front of everyone I know, hurt family in the worst ways, pretty much missed the first year of my sons life, been arrested countless times for fighting.....
The shame alone is enough to never want me to even look at another pint. Once that shit gets under your skin, you're in for the ride. If you're lucky you'll hit rock bottom and have the people around you to pick you back up. If not, well, Alice knows that scene
Vulhala, words can't express how proud I am of you. It takes a brave person to pull yourself up from the bottom, most people can't. As far as any remorse over your actions, let it go. Every day is a new day and your family and freinds will love and forgive you. In all honesty, if my husband had recovered from his addiction I would have forgiven all he had done, so would every one else. His family and friends would have been spared mourning his loss. Now it's too late for him but not for you.
You have many wonderful years ahead of you with your family & friends. Nothing good can come of looking back, since your not going that way. It sounds like you have a great support team behind you, please consider myself one too
I'll try to find the lyrics to this:

Life is beautiful! It's not easy, but well worth the ride.
