I love when Marchers have meet ups! So jealous!
So great that you are there for your friend, Marcher. I didn't turn to anyone when I got my DUI in '99. I was ashamed and overwhelmed and didn't want anyone to know. Please tell her that it's not the end of the world. It feels like it when you're going through it because it's such a different process than anything you've gone through before (police! court!). And I understand the shame and embarrassment, but I hardly ever think of it anymore. My charges were dropped and life goes on.
The school year is coming to an end so lots of stuff going on and I'm not sure how I can fit it all in today but I can and will because I'm sober! I'm not dragging all hungover and feeling like crap.
Shoes, we miss you.
