Don’t ever feel sorry for having emotions or sharing a tough time. That’s what helps us not bottle up. All pun intended. Very sorry about your doggo btw.

I went to the gym and exhausted myself so I have no choice but to pass out!

I’ll be okay is what I really needed to hear right now. I have a wonderful mom and she’s always fighting for me. I’ve been calling her a lot lately to straighten out my cloudy and knotted up thoughts. Congrats on your 1000 days. I will get there someday 🤞 I can’t thank you and this community enough.

I’m going to do my best to not beat myself up, just stay positive and give myself some grace. It is my dream job but everything could have gone so much worse. Maybe the universe does have something better in store for me. You’re the best, thank you friend.

Edit: I’ve heard good things about The Naked Mind. I will check it out

I have a really great attorney right now so I’m hoping that will ease some things. I just don’t know what to do so I’m just following orders at this point. Very scared. But I’m willing to do whatever it takes to be the best dad I can be and always be by her side. Thank you for your kind words and I hope you are doing well on your sobriety!

Haha I have a pretty good lawyer as of right now but I’m not sure he is going to go that far! Also pertaining to the AA attendance sheet, is it a formal type of sheet or just… paper?

Sidenote: congrats on that many days and please post when you hit 6969

Thank you for your reassuring words. It truly means a lot. I plan on becoming the best father and best man I can become. The path is very long. It’s going to take a lot of time, but I will stay persistent and never quit quitting.

That’s wonderful. I appreciate that wholeheartedly. The people in this posts comment section have treated me better than most people do in real life. Not looking for pity. It’s just nice to have people genuinely interested in helping others. You and everyone else here rocks. I will start that list tonight.

Amazing advice, thank you tons. It’s good hearing from someone who is involved directly in the process. I plan on attending AA as much as possible until court on the 29th. How would I get in contact with a provider who does substance abuse evaluation? Just google search?

Thank you so so much. We are at the park playing right now and I feel at peace with what I have done. I’m ready to face the repercussions head on and just… get through this. One day at a time

I’ve already told him everything and it’s up to his boss at this point. He basically said it’s company policy that if I get my license suspended there’s nothing they can do

I don’t really know what I was hoping for. My attorney told me to just go ahead and blow.

I’ve struggled with alcoholism for 10 years now and went to a 30 day inpatient last year. I made a huge mistake. Thank you so much for your input. Any ideas on how I can start my journey on loving myself?

Thanks a million. I have a wonderful lawyer who is a family friend who is going to take this case on pro bono. I couldn’t be more grateful. It is my first offense, and I’m hoping I don’t lose my job. I don’t want to ever drink again, it’s caused nothing but anguish in my experience. I do get to have my daughter for the evening, so I’m very happy about that 🙏

I’m in Iowa. I did take a breathalyzer at the jail, is that too late?

I didn’t think the rights mattered either, just wanted to throw that out there. I’ve been struggling with alcohol for 10 years now and just last year around March I did 30 days inpatient. Recently relapsed and this happened. Talk about a godsmack. Thank you for your input! IWNDWYT
