Emotionally devastating consequence...my fault

Hey All- Well...one of my not yets is now happening. On my last screw up I did something dangerous, foolish...and now there are consequences. I drove drunk with my kids in the car...the ex-wife ( also recovering alcoholic 6+ years) will now no longer let them drive with me....I know its the right thing, part of me is glad she's being protective, I know its all the result of my actions.....I'm trying to be grateful that she's still willing to let me seethem under other circumstances and even offered some ideas.....I know this is selfish...but right now...it hurts....I hope this is the bottom I need. Thanks

Oooh, Robzoloft! That could have been so much more devastating! The consequences could have been so much worse. You (and your wife and children!) have been so lucky and blessed that the outcome has actually been such a good one and you can still see your children.

I look back on my life and I feel like I was looked after and protected. I wouldn't want to push my luck(?) any further!

Oh Rob, consider yourself blessed that things ended up the way they are.

I'm glad your ex is taking care of the kids and I'm glad that you can still see them.

Show all of them with your actions that you are changing.

Glad to hear from you Rob. I know you're hurting about the consequences you face, but it could have been worse right? That may not make you feel any better, but you can recover from this. Please hang in there and take care of yourself. Look forward to hearing from you. Keep us posted.
Tay.

Thanks for being so honest about this situation. Given what happened, this is the best possible outcome for everyone. Don't give up! You and your family are so worth it. D
