Are you required to confess sins where you can’t remember if you had full knowledge or if you are peretty sure you didn’t but there is a part of you saying you did?

Questions like this are better addressed to your confessor or spiritual director – someone who you know and trust to help you sort through the issues.

Are you a little bit scrupulous?
You might want to consider doing a general confession and then start with a clean slate.
Seriously, your driving yourself batty with all this!

Yeah I had the same problem. After 25 plus years away from the church and God I went to confession. I Continued to remember sins which are pretty much in the same category as all the ones previously confessed. I told the priest that I felt like I wasn’t able to make a good confession because I kept remembering sins. He told me not to drive myself crazy and to leave it up to God whom knows you’re doing your best.

Are you talking about behavior that you may have done after drinking too much?
If you did something that you don’t fully remember because you were blackout drunk, it changes the analysis.

The general rule is that we are not required to confess doubtful mortal sins, but that we need to mention that we have doubt if we do decide to confess them. Scrupulous people are strongly advised not to confess doubtful sins. The following links are very helpful in this regard, especially for the scrupulous (you don’t say if you actually are or not), but first and foremost make sure to talk to a priest and follow his advice:

Welcome catholicbook.com - Hostmonster.com (question 80)- Note that this is the catechism of a man who was both a Pope and a canonized saint. As far as earthly authority goes I’m not sure that it gets much higher.
