3rd DUI in 20 years. Where I live, a 4th is a felony. Sitting in the police station that night while I was being booked, I had what I can only describe as a spiritual awakening. A thought I had had many times before (I've got to stop drinking) turned into "you never have to drink again." It felt like the universe was stepping in to sort of "take over." Other people might call it a God moment - whatever you call it, it felt like it came from outside of me. And I felt such RELIEF. I truly surrendered in that moment. For the record, I wasn't very drunk. Impaired and over the limit yes, but not to the point not remembering things. I remember everything that happened that night with crystal clarity. It truly was like a switch was flipped. I haven't had a drink since that moment. I did still do a heck of a lot of work to make sure I could have a good set of tools for dealing with life and cravings, and it wasn't always fun or easy, but I really have not seriously wanted to drink since then.
