I got a DUI last night

[Polaris]

Been there OP, you will get through it.

Dont let the people get you down either. Its definitely a bad thing to do and am not defending it at all, but some people really get carried away with the whole acting like it makes you the biggest piece of shyt ever.

[RealAesthetic]

you'll learn from it op, just gotta take it and stride now.

[latverian41]

Idk why I do it. I have depression, and I think it might have something to do with it.

Bro I know it does. I suffer depression and have all my life. Not to sound like a beta **** but I'd drink and just start sobbing thinking of family and stupid chit like when my loved ones would die. I was doing that at 23 24 25.

Depression is a demon. Its awful. I've never been on meds for it but I made an appointment to try some. It has to be a better alternative than drinking .

[celticbhoy88]

Anyone who drinks will eventually get one.

Dumbest **** i've read on this forum.

[MA5Bergey]

Anyone who drinks irresponsibly and cannot control themselves will eventually get one. I got mine in 2010 the chick cop just checked me into county then asked if I wanted a ride home.

Fixed that for you. I'm not going to shame the OP any more than anyone already has. Opie knows he ****ed up and he'll be facing the consequences of his actions. But drinking and driving is irresponsible and a DUI is the result of that irresponsibility. Plenty of people drink and don't get a DUI/DWI.

I just recently got on meds and it is helping a lot. I am coming out of a relationship that ended badly too and drinking played a role in that relationship turning sour. I would depend on my ex to take care of me when we'd go out drinking and now I'm left to take care of myself, but with no control and the feelings I have I am finding it harder than ever lately.

Ahh he won't face any consequences. Not this time if it was his first. Pay a fine do a class. Always remember guys the law is generally fair with people who are deserving of it and will give you second chances on many things nbut also keep in mind they are going to treat you the way your behavior and actions are indicitve of treating you. If you behave like a low life scum bag who isn't deserving of a second chance then guess what..he or she isn't going to waste their kindness understanding on you. Don't matter if its the policeman who locked you up the prosecutor or the judge. If you are a good person and made a small mistake and no one got hurt then odds are you will be treated accordingly. Most people who get harsh sentences or get treated like chit from the !aw deserve it and bring it on them selves.

I've been there too. Was engaged four years. She took care of me. Drove me home when I was drunk. Took care of me when I was falling down drunk and couldn't stand. The booze ruined that. A good woman will reach out to help but she's not going oo wait around forever for us to change. Cause a good woman knows her worth and her value oin society cause they are such a rare find.

You are learning a lot earlier then I did bro. Take these valuable life lessons and put them to use.

What meds did they put yoiu on by The way?

antidepressants

[MrAWatts]

Do you feel bad for because you got caught or because you could have killed innocent people?

This. If you did it last night that means you have probably done it before and just never got caught. Weird to me that people know that they can easily kill others and themselves and still choose to do it. There is a reason new years eve is the night you are statistically most likely to die, and it is because people like OP.

[stfudonny]

strong torch mob...ITT no one has made a bad decision.

[darkninja67]

A majority of people that drink regularly will end up getting a DUI at some point. It's not really a big deal just a great revenue collector for the state.

you sir are a pop tart. Parking tickets is an example of "tax collection"
What is opie had killed someone?

Don't neg at all but some comments just deserve it.

strong torch mob...ITT no one has made a bad decision.

we all do but DUI can be pretty serious in some cases.

why are people saying hes going to have to pay 1000s cause of insurance going up???

if he just got pulled over and didn't damage his car or anyone elses car there is no reason for the insurance to be informed.

wait wut?
Have you ever applied for insurance?

Op its a lesson and hopefully you learn from it. Don't put other people in danger. Especially yourself.

How long before you seen a difference in yourself? How has it changed/ help you?

[P51]

Rip around 10k between this and insurance rates.


Next time pay the $30 uber.

I started seeing the effects at around 2 weeks. I don't get very anxious any more, pressing thoughts aren't as pressing as often. I find it very hard to cry. Hunger is knocked out. I've lost almost 20lbs in four weeks.

[Tune5k]

good

as long as cops are pulling people like you over instead of me for tinted windows and no front license plate i'm all for it

Truth be told, the two biggest profiteers to DUI arrests are lawyers and those substance abuse places that the state makes you go to for an evaluation to see exactly how much of an addict you are plus the x-amount of hours they will require you to do based on their own evaluations before you can apply to get your license reinstated. The state makes it profits by making other traffic related ordinance violations, i.e. seatbelt violations, taillight violations, license plate violations. They're able to make these stops to issue the citations under the guise of having DUI stops and the infamous, unconstitutional checkpoints. But you are correct that the stops are more about the money than public safety.

Too bad the biggest hit for your post will be to your reputation balance.

What did you blow?

My opinion of you will be a lot different between a .09 and .2

OP said .16

[latverian41]

I chit you not guys when I was younger I would drinkna pint of early times before going to the bar then drink all night and on the way home I'd see a cop that I knew well and I'd pull up just to bullchit around and talk and I'd always say hey let me blow in the breathalyzer just to see what I'd score and aagter all that drinking I never blew over! It was weird as ****. They always accused me of lyoing about how much I drank haha like I was trying to be a viking who could chug down gallons and gallons and not be effected

[requital]

i don't get it, there is even uber today and people still try impressing themselves driving while under the influence, i guess one cannot change stupid.

[Postmort3m]

Too drunk to realize it was a dumb choice. Idk why my friends even let me drive.

So it's their fault? Dumb pos, take responsibility for your ****ups

[TheAmericano]

holy fawk you drove after drinking on NYE....

- No one you were with tried to stop you?

- Do you even Uber.


You're 24...you are to old to be drunk to a point were you are going to make stupid decision or not have people around you that will help you not make stupid decision when you get yucky

[stewartrochet]

OP did you do a breathalyzer or what? You know you're legally allowed to deny the tests and lawyer up

Then your license is automatically suspended, regardless of the outcome of your arrest...

[Power_Strike92]

Its my fault, but friends don't let friends drive drunk.

I heard antidepressants lowers testosterone, does it feel like it does to you?
