Never got arrested but..
I never got arrested but my actions put my friend in jail for something they didnt do... to this day I am very sorry and did everything I could do to help them. Got them a lawyer and tried to fix the situation.
I got kicked out of many bars... Everyone tells me that I am such a nice person and then when I drink I change into this person that is just a monster.. Many trips to the hopsital - broken arm once, stomach pumped twice, split my chin open once, woke up with a broken ribs from try to move furniture when I was drunk, fell in the shower and broke my ribs again, fell on a sidewack and hit my head so bad I had to go the emergency room, woke up with many bruises from falling down, woke up with a black eye from walking into a door frame, sprained my ankle really bad once and the list goes on.. I have never really admitted all these things outloud until today. when I read this it makes me NEVER want to pick up a drink again...
I Thank God that I am still alive to share this and hope someone can read this and never want to drink either... and I am relieved that this morning I can wake up and I dont have to try to assess the damage I caused the night before and try to fix it (I know that fixing it is not possible). All I can do it not drink today and learn from my mistakes..

It's such an awesome feeling to not wake up and wonder if you did or said something ridiculous the night before. I made promises (can't keep 'em if you don't remember 'em), broke things, fought with my girl, talked to my parents on the phone, agreed to cover someone's shift, cooked a whole chicken, did absurd work on school projects, gambled my money away, read books I didn't remember, played with guns...Dude, it sucked. This is soooooo much better.

2 assaults, 1 DUI, 1 Hit and run (hit a parked unoccupied car and ran so I didnt get caught for DUI) Breach of the peace, breach of probation.
I too drove all the time drunk and I didnt kill anyone (that I know of...) Thank God

If there was ever something I was obsessed with as much as booze, it's motorcycles. Because of this I never got a DUI. I won't lie and claim to have never ridden without alcohol in my system, but I never rode "drunk." Whether or not I was legally drunk (.08) is up for debate (probably).
I was always terrified that I'd get so loaded that I'd no longer be able to use good judgment. It wasn't unusual for me to give my keys to a roommate or girlfriend when I knew that I had 12 beers or a bottle of scotch to work through. Motorcycles are ridiculously dangerous in the first place, even before you douse them in alcohol.

Last year I had two DUI's within a 3 month period. 
In June and then August. Had to do 48 hours jail time and my parents paid about $20,000 in court, lawyer, and medical bills. I'm only 21.
My life has been a struggle ever since. Not with alcohol per se, but just dealing with how much I messed up. I didn't drink for months and then when I moved out it started again.
Then last week I got caught shoplifting 4 bottles of vanilla extract and was put in handcuffs right inside the doors of the grocery store. It so horrifying and shameful but well deserved. My boyfriend had to leave work to pay the theft fine. Found out what I stole, and almost kicked me out. Instead he said, "I'm going back to work and will think about this after I've calmed down. I'm 50/50 on deciding if I should leave you or give you another chance. The only reason this is hard is because I love you."
Eh it was one of the worst days of my life. I haven't had a good year, that's all I can say.
P.S. He gave me another chance, and I'm very humbled and determined not to do this to myself or him again.
