I'm honestly sick of the routine, I'm sick of the endless cycle. I'm sick of trying to get sober, going days at a time, and then just giving in because killing an 18 pack on a Friday won't hurt anyone around me. That restarts the cycle.
I need something, I don't know what it is, but I need it.
I quite often wonder if I should drive to the police station, say "hey, I've drank 20 drinks tonight and I drove here, please give me some inspiration to get sober."
hey there fellow Michigander..... trust me, you don't WANT a DUI. I've had two and they are events that will haunt you for many years in many ways.
you have already got the insight that a DUI gives you.... you're just fortunate beyond expression that it hasn't caught up with you and you haven't had to deal with the consequences.
SO.......
GO TO AA
COMMIT TO SOBRIETY
GIVE THIS A SHOT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
You don't need to go through the agony of a DUI - or worse the agony of a life after you've killed someone - you can choose this NOW.
