Yeppers! Even you have toadmit that driving while under theinfluence of anything is dangerous, what if you crossed that middle line and slammed someone head on!! Horrible, I do like the fact that you have come here with alot of honesty and atleast putting this situation out here to be talked about, maybe it is a little theraputic for you. I for one have had my share of drunk driving issues, being the victim in one of them and friends of mine also were victims, I have no sympathy for drunk drivers, They should be made to go through the system and be charged for this very serious crime. I dont wish you locked up at this point, your family needs you, and from what I am reading you are digging deap and dealing with these issues as you must and as best you can.. That is the only stand up thing you can do at this point and I see you doing them. So now we wait for the hearing and see what your lawyer can do for you..because I have come to like you, whatever mistakes you have made, but you need to pay your dues on this one and hopefully it doesnt effect your family to much like loosing your kids, that wouuuld be awful and a clear WAKE UP CALL. this has happend to you several times, not just once, so there maybe a serious self control issue going on here, I dont know, however I do support yoiu, I hope the very best for you mainly bedause of your family, doesnt matter how long inbetween you have gotten caught, it is how many times inbetween that you havent gotten caught, your not superwoman and sometime, something terrible may happen that you an neve take back.. I wish you all the very very best with the oncoming court fight your gonna have to deal with, Im hoping by just going through this part of the system will burn in peoples minds that it is just not cool to drink and drive and/or pop a bunch of pills then drive.. You take care.. and take it easy, one day at a time... Good Luck to ...
