I'm guessing you don't remember the president of MADD getting a DUI 2 years ago do you. Bunch of hypocrites.
That one ****** me off, but you redeemed yourself in later comments. I just hope you're serious.
Believe me when I say it IS one-day-at-a-time, but YOU are responsible for each of those days.
Yeah, I take it personally. My first experience with DUI was when my neighbor ran off the road and crossed the sidewalk. I was knocked into the ditch, but my friend was caught under the car and dragged the rest of the way to his house. The driver went inside and grabbed another beer while her body remained stuck under his car. She was six years old - the same age as the driver's son. He went to jail, but imagine what his wife and son went through living across the street from Sally's parents while they waited for him to get out.
And I've been to way more than a dozen AA meetings with friends, drank the stale coffee and smoked the cigarettes. Hidden their keys and sometimes their cars. No, I'm not a do-gooder. I've been there and done that, but only drove drunk once. I was lucky and woke up in the median wondering where I was. From that point on, I made the conscious decision not to risk it all by driving drunk. Once is a mistake. More than that is just irresponsible.
Hope you take it seriously, before it takes you.
And yep, we just fired 2 where I work as a result of their DUI convictions. One supervisor, one custodian. $65K a year - gone in an instant!
