Wow, congrats that's a real success story.

I think that because alcohol is legal, we don't realize how dangerous it can be. Congrats and thanks for sharing!

I was my usual blitzed self that night. My tolerance was so high after 15 years of heavy drinking I passed the walk and turn but failed the breathalyzer -- if you call over .30 failing. College students die at .24. For me to still be able to walk at that level was amazing. I was 185 pounds and had a 37 inch waist. (now I am 160 and 30 inch waist-- back to normal)
The next day I called an in-patient treatment center and reserved a bed. Since I had been prosecuting drunk drivers, I had a good relationship with the manager of the center and was fortunate that they could take me on short notice.

After I checked into the treatment center, the DT's started and lasted for 4 very long days. Withdrawal from severe alcoholism is the most painful thing I have EVER felt in my life.

A day after I got through the DT's, one of the other patients who was also going through them died in the middle of the night. Going to breakfast in the morning, and seeing them wheel his body away on the gurney I realized how serious this really was for me.

I spent a month in that in-patient treatment center. I don't know how else i would have made it- I was craving a drink so bad my mouth watered.
Somehow I made it through the roughest period and stayed sober. I got into Alcoholics Anonymous and have been going ever since.

Every year I post on my Sobriety Anniversary. It helps me to remember how really really fucked up I was and how lucky I was to have been arrested. It took a kick in the ass that hard to get me to sober up.

Friday, February 22 marks 9 years without a drink. It feels damn good to be here, sober, today.
More power to you, Congrats!!!:D

It stands for Anonymity - if you look that up it means: "When I'm not me."

That seems like an extremely harsh sentence for a first time offender.
I would bet it was (at least) your second DUI . . . to get a decision like that.

I know of two time offenders that haven't received sentences as harsh as that.

What aren't you telling us?

Oh you shut up you fat ignorant slut.

He is holding back and if he wants to "confess" on this board . . . . I say do it right!!!! Tell all (honestly) or stfu!!!

No first time offender would get that sort of punishment (unless).

What isn't he telling us???

When he goes to the zoo . . . do the elephants throw HIM peanuts?

When he goes jogging, does he leave pot-holes????

jackass.

go back to making dumb threads.

NikKay 02-21-2008 10:59 PM
A first time offender in Florida who pleads no contest gets jail time, fines, forced driving classes, forced MADD courses, and at least 1 year of probation. Second time offenders get much more jail time than only 7 days.

Greg, every state is different, for instance when you got your dui in Ohio the penalty was less severe than many other state's first dui. He said he blew a 3.0, so I'm sure he received the max extreme dui penalty.

Congrats dude!

Do you remember your mentality during that time? I mean the time in which you seemed to evolve to drinking all day, everyday?

What did you tell yourself you were doing as it progressed? How did you talk yourself into getting to that stage?

Also, do you remember when you made the decision to quit? Can you share what it was that made you realize you needed to stop drinking?


Thanks man!
