No but I didn't expect to be made nto a monster, and told I was an unsafe Mother. For the record, my young uns have never ssen me drink, much less drunk.
Truth in a person wanting my kids taken, my van taken and wanting me locked up. Basically making me feel, if not sayiing, that I was hopeless and worthless. No truth in that. Truth in that those are her feelings, and she's allowed to them.
I want to reiterate that I did not say that I did not screw up and that I was not wrong! And whomever keeps saying 4 drinks in 2.5 hours. It was 3 beers and a half a shot of pepermint shnaps (was split with friend). Along with a big plate of fried mushrooms.(ate all by myself...oink oink)
Do I see NOW that was too much for me...yes, yes, yes...did I think so then...NO!
4 Years ago that would have been at least 6 beers a shot and teriaki chicken wings.
I can also say that since I was a bartender for years I have seen people blow a .16 and not be impaired or at least appear imparied at all.
I can also say that since I was a bartender for years I have seen people blow a .16 and not being impaired at all. They were used to drinking 12 beers after work. I have seen houeswives come in for 1 after a fight with hubby ot whatever and appear drunk after one. everybodies metabolism is different.
You all are also reading more into my admittance that I cannot say that I will never drink and drive again.
If I were to have a beer with dinner, I might drive home. I know now that if I were to have more than one that i will not.
As for what happened to you. I am very sorry. There re people out there like that, that get slopp drunk and scream they are not. I can see your point and why you wuould think I was one of them, but am not. I have no reson to lie here??
Unbelievable. All these justifications.
First of all you say your children have never seen you drunk. What has that got to do with anything? Well gee, that's nice and all, but I'd rather you stayed home and let the kids see you drunk than have you go out to a bar and drink and drive. At least people stay safe that way.
Nobody is saying you are hopeless and worthless. Again, you don't seem to get it. It seems that you don't learn that you can't drink and get behind the wheel of a vehicle. Something has to make you stop. I agree that throwing you in prison, and taking away your 20k van may do the trick. Nothing else has worked obviously. Saying this in no way means people think you are hopeless and worthless. Saying this means we want to see you learn not to drink and drive. We don't want anyone getting killed.
Now it is 3 beers and a HALF a shot. You say, whoever keeps saying 4 drinks in 2.5 hours...well YOU said that in your first post. What now a beer does not consitute a "drink"? What is it then? NOW you state you ate a lot of food with those drinks. You say that others blow a .16 and are not impaired. Everyone is different. None of this makes any difference. What is the legal limit? You exceeded it and of course you would. That's a lot of booze to consume in less than 3 hours when you weigh 120 lbs.
You say you "might" drive home if you have a beer with dinner. For someone who has 3 DWIs, that's incredible that you would even consider this.
Combine ALL of this, and all it appears to be is denial and justification for what you did. sure, you are admitting you screwed up BUT....all kinds of "buts". There should be no "buts." If you came on here and said to all of us that you screwed up royally, you will NEVER drnk a drop of alcohol and drive ever again, etc...then you may get some more receptive people. but again, you just don't seem to get any of it.
You say Trampy's post made you cry. Good. Better that you cry over a post than someone else crying over the casket of a loved one killed by a person who thought they were not legally drunk, but crossed the center line and caused a collision.
As far as any abuse or addiction issues, that's not my concern in this thread. If you have any issues with that, that's your business but I think everyone is here to support you with that if you so desire. Our concern here is only that you continue to drive while intoxicated and that you do not seem to get it.
As far as the "holier than thou" attitude that was mentioned by another poster. I'm sorry you feel that way. I know I for one am far from perfect. However, when it comes to drinking and driving, that's something I do not do. Does it make me hoiler than thou? No, it makes me wiser and it makes me a safer person. I am less apt to maim or kill someone because I choose not to have a few beers and drive my car. I don't see this thread as a bashing thread. I see this as a plea to Yeppers to NEVER drink and drive again. If all this nagging results in saving just one life, than that's a huge accomplishment and it's worth all this bandwidth.
Yeppers, I hope you can settle this with yourself. I hope you can see what the rest of us see and make a firm committment that if you decide to consume ANY alcohol you will not take the car keys in your hands and turn on the ignition. It's happened too many times. You are a poor judge of your limitations when it comes to alcohol. Please just admit that. The life you save could be your own.
