Glad you are safe and had a Guardian Angel tonight. I never make good decisions when I drink.

Oh my god....are we the same people?? Sometimes I tell myself that I will drink less if I just drink at home alone because I'm pretty sure that it is other people that make me drink so much...then like 10 o'clock rolls around and I am drunk and everyone else is at a party...and I want to and have in the past just up and drove myself there....

I don't know if you have ever done that but your post just started me on this 'remembering' trip.

Cacky, I've been there too - paced up and down arguing with myself about going out vs not being fit to drive. I'm glad you stayed in, and you're safe.

Take care

Cack and others who would drive after drinking . . .

Good for you for going to bed and thank God you did not drink and drive.

If you wouldn't mind I'd like to share . . .

It's a warm summer evening. Her parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles are so proud of her because she's starting her 1st year of college in September. She is on her way to meet some friends and have some fun chatting about the courses she has choosen.

He is married and has 2 small children, he stops at the pub after a hard day of work, has a couple of beer and tells his buddies he has to go. And then . . . on that beautiful clear evening at approximately 6:30 pm everything changed. The bright eyed 17 year old teenager never made it to see her friends. My cousin swerved into the oncoming lane and struck her vehicle head on. The ambulance arrived within minutes and she was pronounced 'dead'.

When you make the choice NOT to Drink and Drive, you could be potentially saving someones life.

God Bless . . .

cacky, good for you for NOT drinking and driving.... I have been guilty of that many times in the past. I cringe even at the thought I did do it. I am so bloody thankful I never injured or killed anyone; and the only thing that ever happened was my knocking over an advance turning light standard and getting a 1 year suspension back in 2003 - I havent drank and drove since then.... thank GOD! This was in broad daylight - busy, busy, road. I had someone looking out for me and the general population big time!

Although many of us have done this, I just pray that we all never do it again.

Way to go cacky! I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you all for the posts. I am a habitual drinker and driver. So last night for me was such a win. I had to talk myself down. Not a good choice to drink. I actually called my family this morning and admitted i drank last night. They were so supportive. Anyway thanks for the story to. It helps to remember whats at risk.
