Just got out of jail
Wrecked my truck(totaled) hitting a concrete highway divider at 70+mph,broken nose,VERY ashamed. I'm just thankful it was concrete instead of a family. I'm going to check myself into a inpatient center after I get my affairs in order(lawyer,daughter coming in from college for a visit,ect..) I will not be drinking during any of this..I simply can not,anymore.

Scariest part of the whole ordeal isn't jail time,fines,ect... Deep down I have a feeling that I hit that wall purposefully. Last thing I remember,before being knocked unconscious,is "F it!".. I have an appointment set for a therapist on Wen. I truly feel like I tried to kill myself.
Sounds rough. Lawyer and affairs in order. Will you be going to jail? I will be next weekend for my 2'nd DWI. It's 30 days on weekends. Next DWI will be a felony and prison. I quit Dec 9 without "help" from the legal system. Some of us need more of an event to quit.
PM me if you want to chat.

Glad you are here DR...that is scary. I put my car in a ditch one night almost 3 years ago.....twice the legal limit. I too was so ashamed but thankful I did not kill someone or myself. When I went to court, their was two people being charged with manslaughter for drunk driving.

I'm pretty good at forgiving myself for all of the stupidity that I was a party to while drinking, but driving drunk is something that I did far too often that still shames me. I got a DUI 17 years ago, and it wasn't more than a month after I got my license back that I started drinking and driving again. I always was able to rationalize it at tue time, and I always woke up the next day saying "never again," but the only thing that ended my drunk driving was giving up the drink.
