Drinking & Driving

[S H]

I have been a drinker for many years..my EX boyfriend (alcohol ruined
the relationship) told me that he doesnt feel I am a total "acoholic"
its just that I don't know when to stop once I start which, i hate to
admit is true! I can tell you from past experiences and what is going on
with me right now, drinking, at some point, will lead to drinking and
driving which happened to me...I got 2 DUI's in 5 days!!!! One on a
Thursday night, and another in a different county on the following
Monday night (both were "aggravated" DUI's, meaning I was WAY over the
""legally drunk" point. I just spent 2 weeks in jail which was hell...I
go to the other county on Feb 2 for my next sentence. NOT only have I
been out LOTS AND LOTS of money (to bail me out of jail was $800 in one
county and $750 in the other) plus both times my car was empounded,
attorney's fees arent cheap, 52 classes for each offense (104 all
together if I am lucky!!) at $20-30 dollars each class) also because of
this, I have lost my license for a year already-not to mention how long
for the next sentence...and I have to bum rides to acohol treatment
classes which is part of my sentence!!!!! Which is aggravating &
humiliating....BUT I also feel that as bad as DUI'S are, this is
probably the best thing that could have come out of it...i didnt kill
anyone, or myself and for that I am thankful! I could be facing a murder
sentence(s) plus having to live with hurting/killing some innocent
person or even DEAD! I had a friend drive me on the rode I was arrested
on and it was probably the most horrible curviest road I've ever been on
(i was lost) I SAY "PLEASE, FOR EVERYONE'S SAKE, IF YOU HAVE A DRINKING
OR DRUG PROBLEM, DONT DRIVE!!! and you might want to think of getting
help WHILE YOU STILL HAVE LICENSE and can drive to get help! Some of
the best ppl in the world turn to alcohol...I know I am not a bad
person...just a girl who made/makes wrong choices when drinking!
