30 days???

I F*cked up bad

Sorry guys, I messed up bad. Another DUI. I can't beleive it. Thought I was fine, but cops pulled me over for a missing headlight. Must have just gone out, and didn't notice in bright Las Vegas. Wasn't really drunk, but .08 isn't hard to go over, and I had one 4 years back, so they weren't very lenient. I'm stunned. I ran into a few friends I didn't see in over a year. I ended up hanging out at their place, and they coerced me to party with them, cause it's been so long. Well, a few beers wouldn't hurt, especially after they told me I could just sleep there. Anyway, we polished off the beer we had, and I ran to get more. MISTAKE. Cops see a car with a headlight out. I feel cursed. I had no intentions of starting up again. I truly feel cursed. I know I fucked up, but I'm more angry than anything. I"m angry at the situation, and not myself. Sorry for not taking responsibility, but this is bullshit. I was just gonna crash there. I wasn't driving badly. They saw I had a previous DUI and gave me the breath test. Sadly, as a long time alcoholic, I wasn't drunk in my mind, but well over .08. Yes, I messed up, but I'm angry. Very angry. All my hard work. I don't know what to do. I want to cry, I am that bummed out. So, you won't need my phone number, cause you wouldn't have gotten a hold of me anyway. I was in since sunday, and just got home now. Figured I would check in with you guys. I'm crushed. My spirit is crushed more than ever. This may be the worst I've ever felt. No bright sid to look at like, good thing you didn't kill anybody while drunk. Nah, wasn't gonna happen. Fucking headlight was out. I'm so pissed, but depressed too. This sucks. 4 days in lockup to dwell. I'm so sick to my stomach over this. Very, very bummed.

Sh*t Morrison, I hate that happened. It is easy to screw up and sometimes hard to understand why. I promise you Morrison, if I had taken a breathalyzer test anytime in the last 6 months before being AF, I would have failed it terribly so don't get too upset about driving. I had so much alcohol in my body my toe nails were turning black and falling off. My Shrink said I was toxic; but I was functioning at a near normal level on a daily basis. I know I was legally drunk, but I wasn't physically drunk if you know what I mean. At any rate, I am really glad you are safe. We were getting really worried about you but we didn't know how to check up on you. I will say something here that is like closing the gate after the horse gets out, but NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, take a breathalyzer test. You are much better to talk as little as possible, be courteous, and let them do what they are required to do. If you take the test, it is proof positive. otherwise it is all hearsay and cameras. Here in Texas most arrest without supporting breathalyzer test are dropped.

Any way brother, we are here for you anytime you need us. This second one is probably going to cost quite a lot, but don't let that get you down. You can use this as a marker and get on with a better life. I know you are angry, but this may be a blessing in disguise.

God Bless

30 days???

Thanks guys. Feeling better already. I was just so exhausted. I called a lawyer, and got my car out of storage. This is gonna cost a bunch. But, I still have a job, and all my friends are happy I'm alive. The sad thing is, they started to worry I went off and killed myself. Guess nobody has faith in me. Well, it sucks I couldn't get a hold of anybody. You only get so many chances to use the phone. Well, shit happens. I just can't wait to get some sleep. I gotta get to work, and will be working late. It will be good to have my mind occupied, but at the same time, I am so freakin' tired, I can't think straight. Talk to you all later.

30 days???

Whew Morrison, well, at least you know we were missing you! You are so important to us, we know when you go AWOL.... I'm sorry this happened to ya, but like Bear said, maybe its a blessing in disguise...we all think at one time or another..."oh, I'm doing so good, just a few, just hang out in those spots where ya used to, it'll be ok, etc, etc"....most times, it bites ya in the butt...big time...its like a vivious circle, ok, not ok, pretty good, awful...lol...We've all been there done that....Bear said once to me, "you laid an egg, can't help it now, walk around it, study it, think about it, learn from it".... unfortunately you can't "do over" now, so just get some rest, and "start over"....it'll be ok, you are too important to us to stay in the crapper for long, we need ya too! I also agree with Bear, here in Texas, and it may be the same in other States, my atty. friend says....if they pull you over....you are nice...and just keep repeating..."I want my lawyer"...they can't force you to do anything, no tests, etc, if you tell them you aren't doing anything without representation, asap...(make sure you have an atty to call too!)....by the time said atty gets to the station, you are most likely sobered up....and without any evidence, they can't make it stick.... Chippy up buddy, this to shall pass...get back on the horse!

Damn, wish I knew that information about refusing the breath test. I thought I heard that they just throw you in jail for refusing. Also, I don't have a lawyer on hand to call. They always want bucks up front as well. Anyway, doesn't matter how it works, cause what is done is done. Being this tired is messed up. I feel like I'm about to start hallucinating. Hope I can sleep tonight. Thanks for the support. It really helps. I'm still a bit in the denial stage that this happened. I mean, I really can't believe it. It is just so surreal.

Morrison, they are throwing you in jail anyway! ALWAYS refuse the test! But, like you said...what is done is done...try to get the charge changed to a DUAC...SAME charge but it is on your drving record not criminal record...sadly I am a pro. So sad that I NEVER even got a ticket until a was 35 yrs old and then my life turns to shit. BUT, UP side is you can turn it all around again...I didn't have an attorney on hand either...I did however have to call the bail bondsman! WHAAAAAA TEARS!!! I sat there crying my eyes...I am in a polka dot dress, sandals, freshly painted pedicured toes...I look like freaking pretty woman OK...in dang jail...I am crying my eyes out AFTER a trip to the ER cause I was beat to hell in the 1 car wreck ...my wreck...all by little lonesome...God what a mess, that was the first of 3 last year. YOU WILL BE OK....get some sleep, dust off, and start over. BUT, keep a level head and take charge of this. DON'T let this GET YOU!!!!!! It can so easily...please check and see if they have that DUAC...the police usely will go for it because the fine and punishment is the same as the DUI...just no criminal record. You still have to do the classes and pay the money. They really aren't out to ruin your life if you show remorse....you may have to kiss some butt, but hey......I wish I could make this go away for you...I remember the morning after...oh I hate that feeling. I am so sorry friend!!!!

I got some questions Luv.

First, how did you get 3 in a year? Out here, the first time you lose your license for 30 days. Second time is a year, and I believe 3rd is 5 years. Can you at least email me the details so I can do research on how the hell you pulled that off. Seriously. Unless you were driving without a license, but I can't imagine staying out of jail then.

Secondly ,where did this happen, and how long ago? I don't see myself not losing my license for quite some time. Also, I've never heard of the DUAC out here either. I will look into it as well.

Please let me know about this, cause I have a temp license until Sunday only. I'm trying to get answers as to what to do, cause from what it looks like, after Sunday I'm without a license for a year, and that is going to suck. If you don't want to post all the details here, please email. It will really help. I just want to compare your situation to mine to see if there are parallels. Oh, can you let me know how they got you (breath or blood) and how much your AC was? I wish I had more time than I do. Sucks I didn't get bailed out sooner. I feel like I don't have much time.

Hello... Our family is going through a crisis but together we can handle anything...

Umm... I got really brave today and made a set of curtains for my spare room.. They turned out just fine... This not drinking leaves me inspired to try new things I wouldn't have done before. This weekend as you all know is our family BBQ so I spend a lot of the day with rubber gloves on cleaning toilets, tubs, showers ... My least favourite housework, but it is now nice and sparkling clean... All ready for the first pooper tomorrow morning.. Tee !! Hee!!
You have been on my mind alot today Morrison and I hope that all goes well for you... We are all here for you.... We are family. Love you guys alot ~Niblet~
Gotta go soak my beans... Gramma up in heaven always brought baked beans, so now I will make her special beans... I miss her so much.
