I came close, but lost the battle. The worst has happened.
I tried and tried to put away the alcohol, I came close and did well a few times. Recently I was doing pretty well, but went on a two day binge.
The worst of the worst happened, I hit someone and have been charged with Felony DUI with severe bodily harm.
A third degree felony and I am looking at a minimum four years in prison and total financial collapse. Three years of suspended license after I am released from prison. Lawyers fees, court costs, fines and civil lawsuits are going to take everything I have. I will be homeless and probably end up back in prison.
I am (was) a professional, this isn't me. I can't believe this has happend. I am still in total shock. The arrest warrant should be out soon.
I have never felt such total and complete despair.
