Yeah, i would definitely be better off... but now I'm picking up the pieces and shaping my life where i want to be.

I feel that we should use that regret to build a better version of ourselves. The version we are meant to be.

Have you ever read the 12 steps? Although it's a book focused on the recovery of an alcoholic, they are principles applicable to any other addiction.
Step number 8 is to make a mental list of the damage we cause to others with our addictive behavior.
So that feeling of guilt that you now experience is very good for recovery.

The point is not to focus on the feeling, but to channel it into acts in order to redeem ourselves.
So, keep going, don't be discouraged :-)

Its funny you should bring this up as one of my best friend's who is a recovering alcoholic told me to look at step 8 last night. Thanks for the encouragement.

Really?
That's a funny coincidence :)

The next steps will also help you a lot.
I wish you all the best in your recovery.
