Had a strange session last night @ rehab... The topic of the night involved pointing out things we regretting doing while drunk/high & what we would have done differently.

I'm really not sorry for anything I said or did while drunk/high. They are the same things I would have said/done while sober.

If I'm attacked verbally or physically, I will respond in kind. If a friend is amiable to having a one-nighter, I'm game. It's a bit awkward the next day, but I don't really feel regret or shame.

I'm being told my inability to feel regret or shame for my actions is "stinking thinking," however, I don't see how these feelings have anything to do with my ability to recover. The group seems to be pushing the expectation that sobriety brings about a higher standard of "morality" or "seeing the errors of one's ways," and its really irritating...

Anyone have any thoughts or experiences w/this?
