Two years ago...

yesterday, was the last day I woke up with a horrible hangover, in a holding cell, after a DUI.

Two years ago TODAY! Was my first day sober.

Thank you SR for all your help in getting me this far. Who'd a thunk it. Two years with no alcohol, or any type of intoxicant.

It can be done.

Thanks again everyone! Good luck to us all!

I wish i would have quit after my DUI in 2002. It took me until 2014... So proud of you for making it happen!

Keep up the great work!

@nowsthetime I wish I had quit after my first one back when I was 22. It took my second one at 52 to finally wise me up. What a moron. At least with the 30 year span between them, the first one didn't effect my punishment for the second!

Thanks!

Yeah, many alcohol fueled events for me over the years too. Things didn't really start to get bad until the last few years though. Mostly I was a binge drinker all those years. You know, weekend warrior type. Though, it scares me how many times I drove (and rode!)when I shouldn't have. Scary scary stuff.

A Long Time Ago
In a Jail Cell
Far, Far Away...
-----------------------------------
DrunkWars

**queue music

Bikeracct had spent the night drinking in the evil lair of Mungo on the planet Bah Tendah. After numerous bottles of Wookie urine and several shots of Degobah deluxe, he heads out to his speeder, swaying too and fro.

After getting into several craft not belonging to him and being punched by a hot-headed Binoc, Biker amazingly pulls himself into the correct vehicle and starts it up.

He puts on some Cantina swing before zooming off into the bio luminescent tundra. Only after a short time he hears a siren behind him and a storm trooper yelling at him to pull over.

Biker panics and swerves into Jar-Jar Binks, crashing his Mach 4 Furryblaster. Luckily, no one cares that Jar-Jar is dead, the authorities actually reducing the penalty because of it.

After waking up in the local jail, head throbbing, Biker vows never to drink again.

Congrats on two years! I had the exact same thing happen just over 2 years ago.

At the time, I thought the DUI was going to screw me over, but it turned out to be for the best. Without it I'm sure I would still be drinking.
