DUI... Alcohol is no longer consumed by me.

{{{Jess}}}

Thanks Traci... I think it will be a while before I forgive myself for this one..  jess

Jess,

I also commend you on such an honest post. I am very happy to hear that you are safe, and that no one was injured. Not only on the driving part, but the fact that you were able to get out of that sticky situation of a date. You seem well aware of the consequences that you're facing, and I know this must be a very trying time for you. You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers.

Take care of yourself

 

Thank you Aliya, I am surprised there has been so much understanding from the boards regarding the purpose of my posting such a personal and negative experience. I am glad that it is having the effect I had intended. I would not wish my experience on even my worst enemy. It was all together terrifying and I still feel like I'm in a nightmare and I just want to wake up and have it be over with.

 

Have a great day Aliya,

Girl, first of all forgive yourself!!!  I'm know you did not make this mistake intentionally.  We are only human and not perfect.  Please don't beat yourself up now - you need to be kind to yourself at this time!!!  You are a good person for "opening up" and trying to teach others about this issue. You're gonna be ok.  You'll get through this!!!

Thank you Denise. It comes in waves.. 1/2 the time I can almost convince myself that I'm just having a bad nightmare...but the otehr 1/2 of the time..I just try to not obsess about how insane this is going to make my life..and its harder when you have no one to blame but yourself. :)

Jess (((((((((HUGS)))))))) I know this wasn't an easy post for you, but I am so proud of you for posting it! I will keep you in my prayers during this difficult time. I am happy that no one was physically hurt. You are such a strong woman so I know you can get thru this!

Jess, you are one strong woman to be able to share this incident with us. It is  for certain going to make us think twice before drinking and driving. I am so glad you are safe and  no one was hurt. Take care Sher

My husband is 6 years out and he did the same thing.. got a DUI, another time he fell down a flight of stairs after waking up (been drinking a "few" for his bday a few hours prior and had to go to the bathroom) took a wrong turn and well. we went to the ER, he was lucky that night.  Another time I found him passed out and hardly arousable.  That was his 3rd strike, alcohol is not allowed in this house now and as a postop I will never touch it, I learned from his experiences.  Thank you for sharing your story.. people its very real.

Jess,  I have to say Thank you for this post.. It will definitely make a difference in someones live...  I really commend you on your honesty and integrity to come out with this in this forum.  I wish you much success in overcoming this hurdle but know that God will support you through this and so will we her at OH>  Thank God you are OK and Safe now...  Donna.  I also know the lesson of alcohol after this surgery. It is definitely different and you are fortunate to have come thru it safely...  Stay strong...
