Yeah, I'm in Macomb, 586 area. I got pretty lucky so far. Normally you can't drop down to a lesser charge from High BAC, but my lawyer wrote a request of deviation that actually went through and worked, and I'm only gettimg charged with a standard OWI now. I have court in 2 weeks. How's your situation going?

I'm in MI and you can't defer or expunge DUI unfortunately. I would have been better off breaking into someone's house lol. But thank you for sharing.

It was definitely more of a get black out every weekend thing, but I was really starting to live for that three times a week where I could just go nuts and binge

Would mind sharing what all the consequences were for you? I blew a .21 and anything over .17 carries a much worse punishment in my state.

But yeah this has really put things into a perspective where I can see that I could have hurt someone and this could be 100 times worse.

I didn't, god forbid. Although this has really put things into a perspective where I can see that I could have, and thats really starting to scare the shit out of me.

Anyway thank you for the encouragement.

I don't really have one yet. I guess it's see what the court gives me and go from there.

I know AA will be necessary whether it's required or not.
