Hi Hillary,

I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely do NOT judge you. With shame, I admit I have driven my car long distances ripped out of mind the last couple of years, and it was just luck that I didn't kill or hurt someone. You have my support and pray that your life moving forward is so much better.

Thank you all. I hesitated posting the thread, but now feel relief and my burden is lighter. Ahh, the power and comfort from the exceptional members of MWO is truly heart warming and has been proven time and time again when a member needs help.

Love you all.

Greenie, I would love it if CD's and books are allowed but that won't be the case here. Even my meds aren't allowed I have to see my dr tomorrow so she can send a script to the jail and hopefully it will be filled.

Hillary, I know you are paying a dear price for this. I do understand. I wish there was a way I could contact you during your time there; letters, etc. But know this, you carry the support and prayers of all of us who easily could be in your shoes. This will be a pivotal point in your life. You WILL come through it, better and wiser.Hold your head up, pay your price, and pray this is the change your life needs. :hug:
PS: I've been treated like that by lawyers. They are vile, ingenious, money-changers, with no concern for their clients but that the check clears, as a rule.

Maybe. But maybe hers was simply a part of a bigger plan that Skendal has this experience. Just a thought.

Dear SK--no judgement here. Can't begin to count how many times I drove under the influence. I got very lucky and I know that. When I finally decided to get real and honest was when I almost got picked up at a traffic check--hubby too. We just happened to be about 15 minutes ahead of them

Anyway, I'll be thinking of you. Thanks for sharing here, it may keep someone else from drinking and driving!:l

Right, Greenie, but that has been the experience of everyone I know who has used a lawyer for a DUI. Maybe it's karma, but it's still wrong.

Hey SK,

I never learnt to drive because at the time I was supposed to be learning I was often drinking. My ma had taken me out about half a dozen times in the car so I had the basics and had been on a few roads. Then when driving me home from college one day she stopped the car and asked me to try driving the last few minutes home on a quiet road. I had spent the whole afternoon in the pub but couldn't tell her that as I was underage. I was absolutely mortified and just insisted over and over again that I wasn't ready until she gave up - couldn't tell her I'd had about 5 pints!

I could not put myself in that position again - so, crazy as it is, since my drink problem had not fully 'blossomed' at that time, I decided it would br better to stop the driving rather than the drinking! So I never learnt any more. How very responsible!! Anyway, its probably a good thing in the long run seeing as how I turned out.

SK, I think you'll find the vast majority of people on here won't judge you - many have been in the same position as you. Hope you make it through this tough time. K x

Again, thank you everyone. I hope my situation can help at least one person.
