Getting rid of the cringe factor

Garlando- I use to cringe about the past but I go to AA and that is my stage for letting the past go. When you are stronger, make a list of all the people you have hurt or effected by your drinking. When you feel you are strong enough to express your regret for hurting them, apologize. You'll be amazed how free you feel. You can never change the past but you can change today, one day at a time.

Ugh - those cringe worthy times. May they be in the past forever for all of us.

DG that post was excellent and summed up exactly how I feel about cringe times. Have one particular incident last summer which was so horrible I doubt I will forget it but I'd like to think like you say that it will become a part of my past 'when I was drinking'....thanks
