I was driving my bf, now husband, home from an addiction recovery meeting one day last Feb. He had lost his license a year before due to a dui. I had a full blown panic attack while driving the car. I pulled over and calmed down but was still skaky. I asked him to drive us home even though he had no license. He speeded and got a ticket and another court date, which was yesterday.

We hired an atty. and said he could get him a prayer for judgement. We brought a paper from my Dr. stating I had frequent panic attacks. We got letters from his sponsor and from the meeting stating we were both in recovery etc.

The judge could not get over the fact that he was driving under a revoked license AND speeding so he took his license away for another year. I've been doing all the driving since I met him in Feb. 2017. It was a blow to both of us.

We have a lot to be grateful for and we are focussing on that and letting go of the other. Life is not easy for any one of us. We all struggle and the struggle is real. But staying down about something I have no control over is a waste of energy. Plus I'm lucky, my husband never barks at me for driving badly like my ex. I'm grateful he is kind to me. I'm also not gonna coulda, woulda, shoulda all over myself. Honestly , it wasn't the first time he drove the car.
