I am very sorry this happened, noneever--but it can be the impetus to start a new life without alcohol.
I'd been sober for 10 months when I became very hopeless and depressed, got drunk and tried to kill myself by wrecking my car--obviously and thankfully I was unsuccessful. For some reason I never was charged with anything but that impact was the start of real change for me and an true embrace of sobriety. I went into inpatient rehab after getting out of the hospital, found a good therapist and visit SR several times a day; I do lots of volunteer work and have become active in my church, playing bass in the contemporary band. AA is not for me, either--and I see no helpful point in dredging up one of your old posts to push it.
I am happy and grateful and have 26 months of sobriety, which I cherish and defend. You can get through this and have a good and fulfilling life afterward. I'm rooting for you and send you best wishes on your sober journey.
