I hope it turns out for the best, Warrior.

As far as talking to the judge on the sly, an ethical judge wouldn't do that.

I don't know about her ethics but I do know she's nuts. According to her state law doesn't apply in Spalding county.

Very sorry to hear this, good luck. Unfortunately this will continue until something else in her life becomes more important than this. This comes from personal experience, 32 yrs sober for me so it can be done. Until her time comes it is probably going to get expensive. Best Wishes

Warrior, sorry to hear she got one but thankfully no one was injured. Hopefully this is an eye opener for her. Prayers continue

In no way am I condoning DUI . But in many states the system does nothing but penalize the person for his action . It is set up to make the person guilty of DUI pay huge fines ,spent time in jail .pay large insurance premiums and attend classes to stop them from doing it again .If you look at the number of repeat offenders it is plain to see that method is not working I have seen repeat DU offenders simply drive without a license when they knew they where drunk . More penalties often put the person doing the crime is a position of drinking and driving more It is not something I have an answer to . But we as a society need to find a better way to deal with what is happening.It is a problem that is getting worse as it goes on

The key thing is the person has to want to stop.

I had a DUI back in June of 1995, but the following year it was like nothing ever happened, and for many years afterwards.

I got lucky - very very lucky - then one day i decided I did not want to go down that road anymore, and today - I can state that it's been years since I took the wheel with a drink in me.
In fact, the stories I can tell scare me today and today I can't stand being around people who are either high or intoxicated....

But I made that choice, not some one else.

One day I just decided that it was no longer fun to go out and party, and part of the reason why I cooled it was a look my dog gave me when I was going to tie one on at home.

That was it.....

*And I never looked back.

PS: And remember - relapse is a part of recovery.
Sometimes it is super difficult to walk away and know right from wrong..............

I know it was for me - a good twenty years elapsed before I finally figured it out - but I did, and thank God each day that I was able to on my own.

Thoughts Prayers + Hugs.........

Big George Glad to hear you have been able to maintain a sober life style for all these years .I have lost several family members to addiction . They not bad people but the problems they had such control of their lives they made repeated bad choices. It is more than just stopping the drinking for most of them . Their entire social life revolves around drinking and all the people them hang out with are just like them Keep heading in the right direction one day at a time

Well I lost the bet, she called. Pure defiance, not good. Now I got a decision to make. Dammed if I do dammed if I don't.

Sorry to hear about the situation you're in Warrior.

I have been there. It was awful ! Fortunately for me I have a friend who has been sober now for 40+ years. I asked him what to do. He said..........."kick her out".

That was crushing to hear from a friend.

But he was right. Until she hits bottom you can't help her.

Hopefully there are no kids involved.

As Bryce said above.........don't be an enabler.

You need to take care of yourself first. If she chooses to help herself....so much the better. The two things are NOT interdependent !

I sure wish you luck !

she most likely had to blow in a breathalyzer upon arrival at jail, then placed in the drunk cell in booking.
Generally they don't let you back out of cell Intel they think you can blow in the breathalyzer again and not have a reading of alcohol. Then they will realise her with a court date. She will probably call you to pick her up or she may call a cab and go to the bar ? I'm praying everything turns out for you and her .

Nothing like a night stay in jail to make a person realize it's time for a change in direction.

Cash or property. Bondsman is 10%.

That's not the problem, though.

I don't envy you your decision. Very difficult not to be an enabler at times with someone you love.

Hang in there, Warrior.

Sheesh. 24 hours in the clink will not hurt. Go to bed, and deal with it in the morning, when she is sober!


Made it almost 3 years without censor!

Since her response to you was "pure defiance", I would leave her in jail. She needs to realize her bad behavior effects you and the rest of your family too.

My ex had 2 DWI while we were married. She never called me from jail, either my sister or a friend. I finally had enough and kicked her out after 23 years of marriage. Been divorced 20 years now, she is still an alcoholic. She has nothing, rents a bedroom in a basement. She's 60 and I can't believe she's lived this long. Cigarettes and whiskey have really aged her, looks like she's 75. At one time, she was a pretty woman. Now she locks up the bar every night. What a life.
