Toad, you are so right. If this hadn't happened I would still be trying to do the "controlled" drinking. I'm actually excited about being sober -- I know I have to do this and it actually feels like that burden has been lifted from me, although I have a huge burden (especially financially) to get through.
Four years would be a huge scare. I'm looking at a possible year to 90 days. I'm hoping my lawyer will be able to get me some other type of house arrest or something long term rather than jail. I don't know what I would do with my dog.
I'm so glad that what had to have been very hard time turned into something wonderful for you. I can only imagine what God can do with my life now that I can really let go and let him take over. I know this will all turn out okay -- but it will be a hardship. $44 round trip cab fare to work today.
