    SK
    Sending you much strength!
    You will come thru this even stronger than you are now. Perhaps the universe did have this in your plan.
    Best wishes to you!

      It has been an amazing day. With all of your open support and the pm's I have received I will get through this. So many of the pm's were from people it almost happened to, did happen to and should have happened to (their words).

      You all have granted me grace and strength.

      I am going to be with Vivian tomorrow then petsitting for daughter this weekend, but will check in before I "check in".

      Much love and appreciation.

      My plan tonight is to have a lavender bath, quinoa salad for dinner and to sleep on newly laundered white sheets - bliss. I will repeat this last step in about 3 weeks!

        SK...
        You and I have been on here quite a while...
        Just know that I am praying for you to "still" your spirit and hear and see what we all can be without alcohol.

            SK,
            I too had a DUI, many years ago, and am still ashamed. Sucks.

            More important, though, is your mention of meds while at jail -- if you are on prescription medication, they HAVE to let you take it while you are there. They may need to give it to you at certain times, but you cannot be denied that. There was a big legal case here about a guy, a well known musician, who was thrown in jail for not paying child support, but was denied access to his anti-depressants and ultimately died. I do not want to scare you, but please look into this.

            All my good thoughts are with you. You will come out on top.

              Thanks CS. I contacted the nurse at the jail this afternoon and she did say I could take the anti-depressants - you can have horrible withdrawl symptoms if you are just cut off. However, I have to go see my dr. tomorrow and have them fax the script to the nurse at the jail - jeesh!

              Thank you Beth, and Southernbelle - haven't heard from you in a while, but I imagine you are putting down tomato and basil soup and so much more that you do at this time of the year:h

                  Skendall,
                  Will be thinking of you and sending you positive thoughts. I think most of us on this site could be in your shoes....no judgement here. Just amazed at your courage and strength in posting and asking for support. You are definitely helping others, too.

                  You will get through this.

                    Skendall, I hope this is as less traumatic for you as it can be and I hope you are able to meditate and concentrate on positive things as much as possible. It will be difficult but it will pass. Thank you for starting this thread. I echo the words of other members when they say that this should be a lesson to us all.

                      I do not know you but I am thinking of you. This could have been any of us at one time or another.
                      Peace and strength to you!!

                        I read your post 24 hours ago, and it has been with me all day...

                        All the wishes and prayers I agree with, a small thought from me? Maybe you could keep a gratuity diary, and share/teach us upon your return? Focusing on the positive might be helpful. Write down 2 things as soon as you wake up that you are grateful for, and the trick? You may not repeat any once!!! Now! No cheating...

                        Your candle is burning, GOD SPEED xxx

                          Hi

                          Keep repeating to yourself you can do this, it helps me sometimes in difficult spots.

                          You will be fine and we will be here when you are able to return.

                          Your Buddy,

                              Hilary, thank you for having the courage to share your experience. I have driven drunk countless hundreds if not thousands of times and like you, I just count my lucky starts that I never killed anyone. I also never had to get through a consequence like you are. Strength and hope to you that this experience will somehow make you stronger and your life ultimately richer in the end. I always need to here about the REAL consequences that I would invite back into my life should I pick up a drink.

                              You mentioned in your original post that you are searching for a way to end the guilt and shame and remorse (not an exact quote!). We can't change the past but what we CAN do is the next right thing - right now, today. I'm sure the next few weeks are going to be difficult. May there be a light shinging brightly on the right path to get you through it.
