Unfortunately, my DUI didn't stop me from drinking except for a couple of months. It took me another two years to finally decide I had enough. I hope you will learn from this and do whatever it takes to stop drinking. (((HUGS)))
Thanks for sharing Suki! I am really jumping into AA with all my might because I know that alcoholism is a progressive disease! I was sober for many years because I had experienced too many "close calls" and then I started drinking a few months before I got my DUI which occurred after a family barbecue this past Memorial Day when I was weaving home and blew a .23!!! Horrific! Every time I start to rationalize my drinking in the future-because it is inevitable since I'm an alcoholic- I just have to look at that number! I just feel so guilty right now and terrified of picking up again!
