ocdwifeofsociopath, there's something strange about the idea you're
proposing: All any of us can do is try to be the good guy (or good gal, as
appropriate). And fall short. And get back on our feet. And make amends
to anyone whom we harmed. And try again.
Fluctuat nec mergitur (It is tossed the waves but does not sink), as the motto of Paris says.
Or, to use the Japanese proverb: Nanakorobi, yaoki (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.)
