At your first confession, do you try to go back and confess everything that you know you have done? How specific is it?

I was a lapsed Catholic who had been away from the Faith for approximately 24 years. The priest who heard my first confession in years walked me through the ten commandments asking yes or no questions relevant to each commandment. For example, the commandment regarding murder, he also asked about anger. I did not have to describe each and every sin that I could recall.
