I got drunk in front of my 7 year old daughter three weeks ago today and I feel absolutely awful since like ive never felt this guilty over something, I never drink in front of her with the exception of maybe a bottle of beer or two at xmas, the day in question i had one too many and they went to my head my brother who is also a dad was in the house too and he said im blowing it out of proportion he said she was in great form and I went upstairs with her at bedtime and we went to sleep however the evening is fuzzy for me and I cant help but beat myself up im not looking for any sympathy here because I hold my hands up and I was wrong to let my guard down like that im just wondering will my daughter be okay and how do I move on from this I haven't drank since and it wont be happening again im just disappointed in myself for letting it happen at all as me and my daughter have a very close relationship ive had her every weekend since and shes been in great form I just feel awful sorry for the long pity speel and thanks in advance for feedback

@Ocall72 - direct question. Do you have a problem with alcohol?
