Tags: Addiction, years

so i eat 14 lorcets and 14 somas in 4 hours and think i can drive, thank God i didnt kill someone, get pulled over on may 25th and just got out of jail at 4 am last night. Pleaded guilty to DUID and got 5 years prison probated to 3 years probation, I go to a 30-90 day treatment program on monday morn.I will also have to see my probation officer once a week and give a u/a,160 hrs of community service and loose my DL for two years. Man I wish I would have stayed clean, Its not worth loosing everything over that feeling, this IS my last chance. Clay TX

I'm very sorry to see what happened to you guys. Those are "yets" for me. I always say that we all have another relapse in us but we never know if we have another recovery.
I willpray for you......

I'm facing a felony DUI in CA because of priors (they go back 10 years now). I know how you feel. I was wondering where you were. Be careful on probation because many believe it's just a trap. Prison is such big business! In CA, the officers union is the largest in calif. and they snowball legislation to... well everytime there is a new prison built, everybody gets to move up.... more seargents, leutenents, captains and wardons. I could go on and on. Don't get me wrong about the guys doing the job, one of them is a good friend, it's just that it's a beaurocratic nightmare which is just naturally greedy for money.

Good to see you back!
