Because I'm a flawed and arrogant individual that couldn't comprehend what I was doing was "that bad".
Over the course of the last few years my drinking had gotten heavier. It was a problem that existed in the back of my mind, and alcohol helped to keep it there. That being said, it's obviously just a symptom of underlying struggles that I haven't come to terms with yet. Hopefully, I can use this new chapter of my life as a redemption arc and not a downward spiral.
Look, PeckerwoodPerry came out and acknowledged his fault, NO need to rub his face in the dirt! We haven't lived his life. The important thing is that he is aware he makes bad decisions! He needs people surrounding him that can talk him down when he gets the itch to do these types of things! Who among us hasn't, sometime in their lives done something regrettable and stupid!
I appreciate what you're saying, but it's important to see these posts today. It's the reason I didn't anon post. I'm not afraid to answer honesty questions, and I need to hold myself accountable. Trust me when I say, this is good for me in that I probably need the practice with accountability because it's gonna be a long year.
I hear what you're saying PeckerwwodPerry, And, I get it!
You do deserve an amount of time to work through this, but, be careful that this doesn't turn into something that you never let go of. All I'm saying is that, when you've truly learned the lesson out of this, make the change to your life you need to make, and put this behind you, and move on with your life. (So you can get back to torching my ass on this forum!) lol... I know that this means nothing to you, but, I'm praying for you. Peace!
I moved out in 2016. Wife and I were visiting my family for Christmas a few years later and a local news segment discussed a DUI where the driver was going 105+ and blew a 0.15. Everyone interviewed replied with "just slow down".
no, drinking and driving is not a problem. If I have a few drinks somewhere and drive myself home with no issue who would the victim of the crime be? No victim, no crime.
We're not expected to cater to your irresponsibility while we wait to react after you've killed someone. That's like saying it's okay for niggers to hang out in front of businesses wearing ski masks and holding guns because "they haven't done anything yet".
Yeah, I don't know what happened. I only had three pints over the course of a couple hours. That's really not a lot of beer. I almost never drink hard liquor, and I didn't drink any in Friday. I've had some health concerns for a while, it's like my body sometimes refuses to process anything and I can't eat or drink anything for a couple days without throwing up. I'm not trying to make excuses, it just doesn't add up. My back was .20 and I just don't know how that's possible after three pints. Kinda tied one on the night before, but it was at least 15 hours between my last drink the night before and my first one one Friday. I'm really trying to process everything and it's not making sense to me. I shouldn't have been that drunk.
Some of those craft beers, can have really high Alcohol Contents. We're talking upwards of 10% to 12%! I usually gravitate toward those, I don't go out often, but when I do, I know about it the next day for sure! Anyway, take care of yourself! This forum needs YOU!

'I most certainly dont think it ok to drink and drive. Which is why whenever i did as a wayward unthinking teen/ young adult, i would make sure i would drive as fast as absolutely possible home in order to limit the amount of time i was exposed on the road and thusly not be a target to be hit by some stupid normie idiot not paying attention'. True story.
Extra points for actually driving home one early 3-4am, so unable to focused literally had to hold the drivers door open at maybe 10-15 mph and look down at the middle white line lane divider - looking back now, was quite unsure how i actually managed to avoid some dangerous freeking normie from ploughing right up my behind.
The proper question is, what made you think it was okay to drink (without handing your keys over to someone trusted)? Once you drink, you don't have the sense to decide whether to drive.

In my life, I put many problems behind me by focusing on my family instead of myself. Happy wife, happy life.

the problem is he is a fucking idiot who drinks and drives and fucking crashes.
how hard is it to turn a fucking corner? It's not that fucking hard
if he wasn't a retarded idiot who doesn't know how to fucking drive sensibly he wouldn't be in the position he finds himself in, now would he?
