I've been sober and been cleaning up my mess. But people still think I'm a drunking, lost cost. Honestly don't care what people think of me anymore. I'm just tired of doing the right thing. and still be heavily criticize and judged from my past poor choices.

What truly matters is how you look at yourself and who you see when you look in the mirror
Take your time and you will learn not only to love who looks back at you in the mirror but to also like yourself good luck my friend
One thing I realized was that I needed to re-look at my friend group and which people have access to me. It wasn’t easy at first but now I’m super glad I let some people fade out of my life
I, too, say I don’t care what other people think of me but random times it pops into mind and makes me second guess. Given that, I’ve tried to focus on creating new friendships / relationships and then I’m only ‘judged’ by the current me. Which is pretty awesome if I might say so myself 
It can be really tough to regain people’s trust after drinking for years. They just need to see you being sober for some time before they will believe that you mean it. You have to do it for yourself first of all!
