I contacted ProFlowers today and sent the poor lady a plant which she will receive early next week. I felt the plant will last longer than flowers... thank you again... many of you have been very kind to me and it is not unappreciated :l

Shik,
That is an unexpected, kind gesture, and I hope the lady understands it as a request for forgiveness. I'm very fortunate that I've never been involved with a DUI or alcohol-related incident. Fortunate. It could have been me.

If this was a forum for PERFECT people, and you joined and posted,

Help! I have a blob of cellulite on my inner thigh!
Well, everyone here would look at that blob, critique it, and tell you how to get rid of it. Some PERFECT people would recommend the surgical way to remove it, and other people would suggest a holistic approach. Maybe some unforgiving people would imply, or you would infer, that you are not welcome anymore because of that nasty cellulite.

I don't make this analogy lightly. I am glad you have found My Way Out, and that you have the courage to post about your dilemma and to ask for support. If you were ranting with excuses and justifications as to WHY this accident wasn't your fault, I wouldn't be supportive right now.....

Maybe the fact that you titled this post, "It's Over!", or that you clearly stated that you were happy upset some people. So, if we could change the name of this thread, how about:

The court gave me a reprieve. Thanks for your support!

Today is the first day of my new life!

From this moment on, I've made the following promises...

The past is over. Shik, you have been given a second chance. The fortunate reality is that the other woman was not killed or seriously maimed, and you can thank your Maker everyday for that blessing. Hopefully, the rest of us here can learn from your unfortunate experience, and if a situation happens when either we will drink and drive, or let someone else take the drunken wheel, we STOP and remember what you went through.

I have a day calendar called, "Getting in Touch with your Inner Bitch".... and here is an appropriate quote:

"Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you-
not because they are nice, but because you are."

Your Inner Bitch wants to remind you that there's an enormous difference between
"being nice" and Toxic Niceness. :heart:

And that's why I posted here what WAS happening and did happen, just as others post what is happening in their lives as it relates to alcohol. It should help other members and they can learn a lesson through the experiences of other members. I was going to address this to Nancy, but I'm tired of defending my actions on this board.

If my story could help someone else to think before they drink and drive, that would be another good that came out of a bad situation. We never know where help might be and sometimes we get that help through the situations that befall others, even if that situation is the direct fault of the person IN the situation, as it is for me.

I hope the woman can forgive me. As I said before, since some think I should be thrown away, that I even offered to make restitution in court. I wonder how many defendants go before the judge and OFFER? That's how horrible I feel about what I did to this woman. All because I am out of control; she should suffer? I don't think so. But I'm on my way to recovery and I can't wait to begin the classes. I look FORWARD to it.

Thanks for the "inner b**ch". Even with the slams, I think I've handled them pretty well. I could have easily gone into "b**ch" mode, but that is a part of my life that is also over. I try to be nice to everyone.

Thanks for your kind words, Patty... funny, I get along very well with another Patty at the SoapNet board. You wouldn't by chance happen to watch Guiding Light, would you? :H

You all have a nice Sunday. I'm going to see mother today :l

Oh, as far as changing the title of the thread, I'll let Ms. Roberta decide. This thread has over 1,000 views so I don't know if it makes much difference at this time.

Peace :h

It wasn't that this poster just stated a harsh opinion. This poster purposely created a brand new profile to anonymously criticize Shikakai, that seems more like cyber stalking to me.

It's over!

Hi Shik, so glad you posted to let us know how you got on Friday. Was dreading the thought of you in Jail, I know you will take this as a 'reprieve', hope you have the strength to see this through, the AA the trash the probation are all reminders of what could have happened. Thank God that the lady who was hurt was hurt mildly and I hope she accepts your gift as the sorrow you feel for hurting her. Please keep us posted as to how the procedure goes for you. Thinking of you and really interested on how the probation, AA affects you and what it brings, any insights will be appreciated.

Closing this thread...again

This revived thread has been brought to my attention and I'm closing it as I did earlier.

Also to be very clear: no one here is able to view or track down another member's computer address (IP number) or user ID. The only ones with access to that information are those to whom I provide administrative privileges. That includes Codemonkey and me.
