Sending you hugs, @ xRavenx! I'm always happy when I see you post.
I think you type such things here because you know many here DO understand. We're all in this challenging recovery process together. I certainly relate to the situations you described. I've been there, too. I hope you get some recuperative rest. As for regrets, and such, sometimes it's a mercy on oneself to just leave it behind and start a new day from scratch. Beating oneself up on behavior does no good. If you feel it best, you can explain or apologize for some things, but even for those sometimes we just need to focus in a forward-moving direction.
