Not trying to be Debbie Downer here but I went throgh the same thing and he stopped for many months after the arrest and then started again. He once again thinks he can control his drinking and having the breathlyzer machine hooked up to his car actually is giving him a false sense of security. He believes that having it HELPS him control his drinking.
Unfotunately, mine still does not get it. He says that drinking and driving was the problem and now that he can not do that, he is good. Umm, I don't think so. You were always a good driver. Nope, driving wasn't and is not the problem. Guess again, oh ya, DRINKING was/is the problem!! Of course, I will never convince him of that and tahnks to SR and Al-Anon I no longer have any desire to "Get through to him reagarding his drinking".
It just proves to me what lengths he will go to for his drinking.
