Hey all my name's Brian I'm an alcoholic. I celebrate 90 days clean and sober today. Longest time ever in 14 years that was not court ordered. Last night I got arrested for an 8 month old OWI. The party's over and I have to clean house. But I don't have to drink over it today.

I'm sorry that you have to do this Brian but I think your attitude is great - think of this as paying the piper and wiping the slate clean

That's exactly when I got picked up..8 months after my DUI was due. Luckily I had set aside my tax return to pay fine. So I was only in jail for two hours. I paid a lot of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest fines for being drunk. I never received public intoxicated ticket tho. That's actually funny...Good Luck..just think since you're sober u won't get arrested anymore.

Oh No Brian316 , those consequences do follow us. Proud u r doing the right thing.

It's crazy they can do that but it's also crazy I thought they might let it go. That was smart of you to have that money set aside. Yeah since I wasn't messed up when they got me I only spent 4 hours. Weird being in jail sober. Thank you all for the well wishes! I'm back for day 91! You know I didn't get arrested very time I drank, but I was drunk every time I got arrested. Once again, I'm very grateful to be sober today.

Way to go on 90 days!!!

Although I never got into legal trouble from drinking, it's taken me some time to clean up my life from drinking. In fact, there are still things I am working to repair. But the good news is that with time, we can clean up the wreckage and move forward.

Yup, I like your attitude too. Take care of that crap and keep moving forward.

One time I had quit drinking I added up all my fines I paid from being drunk. It bothered me thinking I put in entire weeks of work. Entire paychecks to pay them. I was making minimum wage. I had to skip meals. The DUI is expensive. I will never get another. Ill walk. Jail is bad it was just packed. I only sat a minute tho. One time I went to court drunk. Luckily I didn't receive a hefty fine or get thrown right in jail for that. How stupid of me. Judge was super nice. I disrespected his courtroom. I was being rude to him and everything. Very lucky to walk free out of there...

Just a quick question......why were you not arrested at the time you received your OWI 8 months ago?
