Hello James,

This is just my opinion OK, So don't take this as the opinion of Wine/WineHQ
or anyone else.

In the past I had a very serious drinking problem and I pissed off allot of
people, and most of them were
my friends. So one day I decided to stop drinking and to try and repair old
friendships, saying sorry will only
get you, or me, or anyone of us just so far... The only way to get back
trust and friendship is to earn it a little each
day by your actions. And not to overreact to a past overreaction. :)

So my suggestion is to take it a day at a time and try and mend past
mistakes by future actions.

I wish you the best!

Tom Wickline
