How true Madisgram. Years ago, I didn't seem to care what others thought of my conduct. I partied like a fool, and acted like I was the only person around --- and didn't even consider others who were around.
When I got sober, I had SOME memory of what I had done, and I was appalled. I shudder to think what people must have thought of me, and it's taken a lot of years to change peoples' ideas of me and clean up my reputation of an out of control drunk.  And of course MY own idea of myself was horrendous -- my self-esteem was in the pits and I wasn't sure I'd ever get out of it.
AA helped me crawl out of that pit. I knew I wasn't alone and there were others just like me. So slowly, I arose and came up among the living and began to feel more like a human being!
