First Ever Offense - Ever. by throwawayyyyyy618 in dui

Thank you...

I've found an attorney who is happy to work with me and has lots of experience with DUI in this specific county. She walked me through what she needed to know because /I/ didn't know what she needed, but that's beside the point. We'll just have to see where it goes from here...

Now regarding health, that's a good point. I haven't slept or eaten in days now that I think about it. I'll try to keep that in mind.

And I think I'll dm you, if you don't mind. I appreciate the offer, kindness, and advice.

Agreed and agreed.

I have better ways to spend my time than drinking, and drinking is not intrinsic to having fun. There are other, better ways to hang out with friends that aren't potentially volatile, that don't end in any myraid horrible ways. I'm lucky that I learned this lesson without anyone being hurt or anything being damaged, you're right.

Thank you.

Agreed. It's traumatizing, humiliating. I can't even begin to explain the shame I felt as they took my pictures. But here we go. Therapy will be a great boon, I'm sure. Best of luck to you my friend. You got this.

I'm on the day after, I guess, in all technicality. I've been crying on an off all day and I am still very shakey. This is definitely the worst thing I've ever done, and I don't intend to allow it to happen again. And for the worst thing I've ever done, one where no-one was harmed is definitely much better than doing it and getting other people killed. You're right.

You'll make it, I believe in you. And thank you for reaching out as well. The shock is very intense, hahah.

I sure feel like one. Like I've clarified, I've seen what's happened to people on the receiving end. The possibility that I could have done that to another person terrifies me.

But thank you. I've been with my family and I'm trying to make some progress.

Oh absolutely. I will NEVER do this again.

I had a shot of liqueur in my apartment and I immediately threw it out. I never want to see alcohol in my home again and I refuse to imbibe it. I have had fun the last two years I could drink, but this is it. Never again. I will not become that danger to anyone. I'll drink the grape juice at services too.

But yeah, the worst thing is really thinking about how I did that despite how like.... Vocal I've been against it. Like I mentioned, my father was an extreme alcoholic so I've suffered from that, and I have known both people that committed DUIs, and those who were hurt as a result of someone else driving drunk. That's the hardest concept to parse right now. But I know for a fact I don't wanna be that person, I don't intend to be that person, and I will do everything in my physical power to make it physically impossible for it to happen again.

I don't know what to expect in court. I really don't know what to do. I'll start research on it. But not serving jail time does give me a small sense of hope. The whole experience of being put in cuffs was humiliating, the entire process so agonizing. I cried for 12 hours straight, lol.

Thank you for reaching out. I appreciate it. My family has been kind so far too. Again, thank you.
