sram-ams(alcohol monitoring bracelet

Anyone wearing or ever worn one of these gadgets? I was just fitted with one yesterday after having my 2nd Dui over a year ago. Am already forming skin abrasions and am concerned about ulceration sores,infection etc. I had been sober 2 years when I relapsed last march and I got popped again, it had been 2years since the first. I have been sober since and managed to drag the court thing on for 10 mnths until this past Jan. when I was sentenced this is part of a very harsh sentence I was given. No one has told me yet how long I have to wear it before I can petition to have it removed. The pain and the financial strain $400.00, a month is unreal. Anyone have any insight or advice about this? Thanks.

Good morning to my East coast friends, well sort of Ibi?  Ohio is in that direction anyway.  Another beautiful day here in the northwest.  Took the girls down the street to my friends who has a solar heated pool yesterday afternoon. They had a ball with her grandkids.
I had my therapy session yesterday.  She says i am doing great.  I am trying my best for sure.  Feel good and don't want to drink.  
Yes, i agree on the chip and also why can't they make an attractive little bracelet for your wrist or something?  We can send a man to the moon> oops that' s another story.
Almost 8 here.  The wild comanches are still sleeping, also their Poppy is too. I always enjoy a little quiet time when i get up and my java of course.
Take care and post any news.  Tonya

Well I'm 1 step closer to getting this thing off. Called the guy who put it on he told me call my PO, they tlkd my PO called me bk said the guy is faxing him a letter to the effect that I am not a candidate for the bracelet DUH! And in turn PO is going to take it to the courthouse to the judge to see if he'll sign it(he better) at least both guys have seen the damage and I told PO that I have pictures if the judge needs to see them, PO said don't worry I've seen you leg it's pretty bad. So don't know how soon this will happen maybe not today, which means I have to suffer thru the wknd.Owwwww! But as long as the end result is that it comes off I'll bear it. Keeping my fingers crossed! I can't see a judge disbelieving 2 correctional probation officers. I'll keep ya's posted.

Tom and I already said that to eachother, it will probrably become the next technologie for alcohol detection and house arrests instead of the GPS's and this thing. How is it they can make cell phones smaller than these, they should be able to make them to look like a normal watch and to be worn on your wrist. Makin my calls this a.m to see how things are going to proceed. Gotta wk at 2 so have to move on it. Tom's got to go to wk 2 so I have to wk around his sched.

Had a pretty easy day at wk thank God. My new model is rubbing old spots and making it's own new ones. Going down tomorrow to see what is going to be done with this situation. I and Tom know it's got to come off, no ifs or buts about it. How they choose to handle it I'll just have to wait and see. If I may be so blunt as to say "One of those guys better grow a set of B--ls" and take some control here. My PO porobrably has to go to his supervisor so theres plenty of cojones to choose from. If not I'll grow my own  and set them all straight. But I'll be sweet when I do it. Honey catches more flys than vinegar right! Anyway I'm pretty pooped out so I'll catch you guys tomorrow. Hope you had a great day today, especially you TJack w/ those little munchkins of your. Don't forget to take some pic's. G'nite   Terry

Good morning.  Mouth feels so much better this morning.  Having my coffee and getting ready for a busy day with these girls.  I will try to get a pic. and post.  I like the new name for your bracelet Bandida.  I am glad they don't have a chain and ball attached.
I did like that movie Crash and meant to see the Bucket list when it was on at the theater, so will just have to rent it.  Yep, you two are very entertaining, but fishing in Arkansas? haha  You know a year ago we were in Eureka Springs Arkansas for my niece's wedding.  It is a neat town about an hour from Branson.
Yes, the rich and spoiled.  Too bad for them,  they need some tough love.  And that kid of Hulk Hogan's does too! oh well,  that's my 2 bits for the day.   Have a good one Ibizan and Bandida, hope your shackel comes off for good soon.  Tonya
