I'm in! My last day of drinking (December 4, 2014) started out no differently than any other day - A few glasses of wine at the local watering hole. It ended up with me in handcuffs, with my third DUI, and a car that was almost totaled, taking another car with it (no one was hurt - the other car was parked and I was fine, except for the humiliation). I had an awakening at the police department that night - I knew I had to be done forever. The damage was becoming too great - in all areas of my life. I sought help that night - called a sober friend and spilled my guts. Started outpatient treatment one week later. Started going to AA. Joined SR about a month into sobriety. I got my full driving privileges back last week - but more importantly, I have my life back. My turning point saved my life, I'm quite sure of it. Getting sober was the best thing I have ever done.
