tell me about it.

I'll keep this brief because it still ****s with my head but. I once got a DUI for being drunk and having the keys in my pocket.....Not driving mind you... BECAUSE I HAD THE CAR KEYS IN MY POCKET. And they were in my pocket because I had gone to get something out of the trunk and had not given them back to the DD.

So... two thousand dollars later to a ****ED! lawer that did not DO ****! I had the decision to either go to trial or take a reckless driving charge... even though I WAS NOT DRIVING.
I had no money left and all the court etc had ruined about eight months of my life.

Unfortunately after taking said deal... because I was out of money.. I was sentenced to two years in outpatient treatment and three years probation, $2000 fine. You have to pay for probation here so it came to like $3500 or so.
The treatment facility was next to an abortion clinic... I had to walk through christian protesters and junkies in line for their methadone hit to get to the outpatient sessions each saturday.
The sessions were all with obliteration drunks, crack heads and especially heroine addicts. I went for six months before the facility told my probation officer that there was no reason to be there.

So here are my over all feelings:
You shouldn't drive drunk, but if you do don't get caught.
Ride drunk all you want. Concrete won't cry when you hit it. And if you hit someone... youre a ****ing ****** and deserve what happens to you.
