Alex Hales said the fallout from a fight outside a nightclub in Bristol in September 2017 had been a "lesson learned in an incredibly difficult way".
The English drummer, 30, has not been criminally charged, while his teammate Ben Stokes has been laundered during a lawsuit.
Hales was later fined and banned by the Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) for his share and his publications on social media.
"It takes 10 seconds to get an image and 10 years to cancel it," Hales said.
In an interview with the guardian, The Nottinghamshire opener added: "It shows that something can degenerate out of nowhere.
"It was also indicative of the place we play in public as cricketers in England. You have to mature and put yourself in the right situation, not to be at 2:30 am in the middle of a series. It's a lesson learned the incredibly difficult way. "
He added, "Sometimes I make mediocre decisions – I've always done it – but I do not want to take them anymore." I'm 30 now, not 20, and I'll do everything I can can for the rest of my career to change perceptions. "
Hales is a specialist of the day and the T20, who last played test cricket in August 2016.
As a result of the Bristol incident, occurred during a series of a day against the West Indies, it was abandoned by England.
But he was allowed to return to the international setup by the Cricket Commission of England and Wales in December 2017 and played in their recent one day series drawn to the West Indies.
In February 2018, Hales, who played against 70 ODIs and 60 T20 internationals, signed a new contract with Nottinghamshire to play only limited playoffs until the end of the 2019 season.
In December 2018, Hales was fined £ 17,500 and six white ball matches – including £ 10,000 and four games were suspended – by the CDC.
The CDC operates independently of the England and Wales Cricket Council (ECB) and is responsible for all aspects of the cricket discipline governed by ECB rules.
In addition to the incident that occurred in Bristol in September 2017, Hales was charged with "inappropriate images".
"I'm not going to lie, there are days when it's gnawed at me," said Hales. "The fines and all were lousy, but the most important thing was losing my place.
"The day I discovered that I was not playing [the final two ODIs against West Indies in 2017] I knew Jason [Roy] would enter and score big points. He is too good a player. And jonny [Bairstow] was in the best shape of his life. I saw it coming and it was idling. "
He is now aiming to play his Home Cricket World Cup from May 30 to July 14 in England and Wales.
"For a year and a half, there have been ups and downs," he said. "All I'm going to focus on is cricket.It's the biggest year in the history of English cricket.I will do everything I can to be the best possible.That was so special to be in this English team and when you lose your place, you realize it.
"I think there 's only a handful of players who can be really world clbad in all three formats and after playing in all three formats, I'm not the only one I can. one of them, but I think I can be in white [cricket]. "
