He never drove drunk again after that, that I am aware of. Always took a taxi.
It's worth a shot maybe, although realistically it's probably hopeless. You will have to keep stopping him.
Can you even tell when he's been smoking pot at this point? That might be hard to catch, so a firm no on driving the kids anywhere is probably safer. It's too bad that you have to be the one to police this. But I'm glad you do!
Thanks for your ideas trailmix! Can't hurt to try. I don't always know when he's high. I can smell it on him sometimes. Or smell it in the garage. And then sometimes by his eyes.
Policing it is draining for sure but I'm going to do what I need to do. I think how much more enjoyable life would be if I didn't need to or was with someone more responsible or with no one!
