So THREE times LE & not the poster are responsible for her DUI's....I've done PLENTY of drinking....but NEVER HAD A DUI...and all the "wholier than thou's " you refer to are in the same category....
The poster who said it's not the fact that you drink alcohol, how ofen or how much that makes you the alcoholic was right...but when alcohol is causing this many problems in your life...YOU ARE AN ALCOHOLIC!!
This person has two toddlers at home, has two previous DUI's..and CHOSE to drink four drinks in 2.5 hours, and get in a car...
SHe has Xanax in her purse, but it's a mistake, she's never used it....no..her husband bought it for her to relax when she got a massage...which is it????
She crossed the center line cuz she was on the cell phone & is night blind..THAT'S LE fault too huh? But she wasn't drunk...nor impaired...she blew a .12....EXTREME DUI in over 20 states at LEAST...but it's because of a dental device...no..it's because it was HOURS later when she blew...no...THE LE OFFICER forced it down her throat, then put her in the car, put a gun to her head & made her drive...And 20 OTHER excuses...that's all they are, ..STOP IT, NOW. YOU CANNOT RATIONALIZE THIS & THIS IS NOT OK!! EVER!
Rationalization is the FIRST friend to alcoholism & addiction & this has nothing to do with the evils of LE....
Your story is one side only....All of us who watch COPS have seen the admittedly drunk attempt to spin the story...
it's time to quit spinning...GET RESPONSIBLE...it wasn't just a mistake..it was a serious LAPSE OF JUDGEMENT..which alcohol takes away..with the first drink..leading to the second drink. leading to the drunk getting in the car, crossing the center line & killing an innocent person...GIVE IT UP
All fine and dandy.
Either you did not understand what I wrote, or I mis typed, misquoted myself. I NEVER said my husband bought the Xanax, or at least I never meant to say it. My husband bought me a massage. The Xanax was sent by accident from an IOP, in place of another med that was ordered. I put the X's in my purse on the way to the massage and had forgotten it was there. Although it is a moot point as I still did not know that it was against the law to be carrying it. In addition for some reason they gave it back to me with my belongings. They kept the hydro, so now I am only hoping that my OP script holds up for that.
As for my husband. Had I not , been laying off drinking the last 2 years, I would still be sitting in jail. He very adamantly told me he would divorce me if my drinking got out of control as it was a few years ago. Since I had shown that I could drink just a few, he knew I was going out Friday, and I twas fine with him if I stayed within the limits that I did, becuase we both thought they were limits that would keep me legal.
THAT was my only argument here. THAT I did not know 3-4 beers would put me over the limit. Obviously I was WRONG!
I have never actually been labeled an alcoholic, but an abuser. Wehn depressed, I tended to drown the depressioin in alcohol. A habit I have been to much counseling for, a habit that I have learned to recognize the danger signs for.
A habit that I have learned to cope with by NOT drinking anytime the depression is 'hanging around'.
Friday I was not depressed. Just wanted to see a friend.
As for those saying you do it 100 times before getting caught, most of the time you are right.
I have been out twice since my 13 month old was born. This was the second time and I did not drive the first time, which was New Years Eve and my Birthday.
You all can say what you want about me. I came here and was honest about everything. I was up front. Never said there was not a problem.
ALL I said is that I did not believe that I was drunk that night.
None of you know me, and yet you are all wanting to throw me into a dungeon and cover it with cement.
I do not make it a habit of drinking and driving. Ther3e was a time that I did. I admit that. I'm not saying all is bad luck. But I am saying empahatically that Friday night was bad luck.
There are many of you that admitted or not admitted, are taking pain reliever's that would impair you more than 3 or 4 beers would. But you do it everyday and you drive.
Go head and condemn me.
For those that are concerned or have addressed me respectfully, I absolutely do understand that 3 DUI's certainly looks bad and I do see your points. I really do. I know that there is nothing I can say w/o us knowing each other that will change anyone's mind about me being a monster.
I'm not a monster, I'm a mom, a wife, a duaghter and a friend who happens to have an addiction.
BTW...the Bupe did not work for me. Made me vomit. But I have been hydro free since Noon on Sunday and I plan to stay that way. Despite the condemnations to hell from the people here whom I thought I could turn to w/o judging me.
I am just saddend that I couldn't find a little more support here. I didn't ask anyone to agree with anything I have done. I didn't ask anyone to condone it.
Trampy's words were so hurtful they made me cry. I am guessing that if she reads this I just now made her grin.
So be it.
