A friend of mine finally was the voice of reason and talked me out of law school. I work as a paralegal now. So I work with lawyers, day in, day out. Tough job.
The friend who talked me out of law school was very successful, well liked. Well, he got a DUI, had to tell the office of attorney registration (supreme court). Our firm tried to work with him, but he kept on. He had a year's worth of sobriety, then tossed that for drinking. This time he was popped with DUI and coke, went to jail. Got disbarred, lost his job. Last year, he shot himself. I miss him dearly.
Please stop drinking.
