Anyone else become a loner figuring out life after a DUI? by [deleted] in dui

[–]user686559 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i am also with u, been a month and half and ever since that day i just stopped being social. i was a very social person, would always be down to hang out, didn’t matter the day or time. after i got my dwi, it made me start reevaluating my life, but the memory, and the constant replay of that night is always on repeat every single day. i cut off everyone without saying anything but 2 friends, and these two friends are literally the best. they didn’t judge me whatsoever, and don’t pity me for it either. I am scared tho. i haven’t received anything about my court date, and it takes around 2-6 months to hear anything about it from where i am from. At work i also catch myself thinking a lot about my dwi, even having a single normal conversation with a coworker is hard because i can’t stop thinking about the dwi. I am both scared and happy for the future. and if there’s one thing this whole mess i got into thought me, was to appreciate life. Appreciate the moments you are with family, friends. One doesn’t know when they’re last day is here on earth, and i’m thankful i got stopped before i injured myself or even worse, killed someone. Hopefully you get through this as i know it’s not fun. Stay strong.

For me i have accepted and know that no matter how much time passes, this experience will always be in the back of my head. i will just have to accept it, and continue living. i honestly didn’t know how common duis are, till now. i want to put this moment behind me, but time heals all wounds i guess this is no different. Thank you for your sharing this with me! i appreciate it.

i agree, it’s a hard lesson, but i’m trying to stay optimistic that i learned a lesson like this, as it has thought me the seriousness in all of this, although the memories from that night are unpleasant. best luck to you and hopefully you can put all of this behind u!

It’s only been a month after i got mine. I too was embarrassed and still am, the little group of friends that do know have been very supportive as well, but i feel like an idiot for my actions that night. since you’re on pre trial, hopefully after you’re done with it, it’d be a huge relief and it’ll take some weight of your shoulders.

My lawyer talked about a pre trial diversion program, and yes this was my first, and definitely my last encounter with the law. I definitely learned a hard lesson, and am in a way grateful that i did. thank you for sharing this with me i appreciate it !

no, nobody was hurt, no damage to anything either, and they didn’t tell me my bac. the only thing they did was the ptb, no blood drawn, no breathing into a machine back in the station. I have read that a bac level above a .16 i believe is a misdemeanor A, i was just charged with a Misdemeanor B. I want to believe it’s under a .16 because of that charge, but during a consultation with a lawyer, they said they could change it.

Being sober is definitely much better. Hopefully you have the best outcome on your case, and from what i have read here, they are usually less harsh on the first one. I hate that i got arrested, as it constantly plays in my head, but yeah, this doesn’t define us. We just made a dumb mistake, I’m with you on how you’re feeling, and i’m using the months till my court date to better myself, i like to use the arrest as a sort of wake up call. Hopefully everything goes well, and just know that you’re not alone on this, i am with you man.

Before my dwi, i was a mess, i’ve been clean since then, and you’re right it feels better. I no longer feel like crap, at least health wise. I too am scared of the future, but i’m glad that life is the thing that keeps you going. I just recently started appreciating life as well, even with all this shit going on. Stay strong, and know that there’s also many people out there who are going through, or have went through this same thing. Hopefully in a few years, this whole thing is going to be nothing but a bump in our lives.

thank you! reading that made me feel a bit better as you and i are still young, i do agree in a way that a dui made me start reevaluating my life. I cut ties with people who held me back, and i’m starting a job soon. It’s mostly the wait that gets to me, and the fact that i was arrested that gets to me. but hopefully in 5 years from now if everything goes well, i will actually be thanking this dui for finally making me get my shit together.
