All it takes to be declared legally impaired in most states is four beers (0.08 blood alcohol level). You're talking about thousands of dollars in fines, lawyer fees, probation costs, increased car insurance rates, having to pay for urine drops; not to mention license suspensions or revocations, or even jail time. There are countless people who get "sentenced" to attend AA, so I constantly hear these horror stories at meetings. The legal system doesn't play around these days.

Please know I'm not judging you & don't mean to lecture (though it must seem like I am)...I'm just reflecting what I see & hear all the time. You're a good person, & I'd hate to see you suffer the consequences of getting behind the wheel after tipping a few. I'm afriad for you, bizi...You've acknowledged in the past that you have a problem. I sincerely hope your vow not to drink & drive sticks. When I was active in my addiction, though, my promises often went by the wayside...I hope your experience is different.
thank you I have attended a few AA meetings, I like the meditation one.I forget what night this is I do have a friend to ask. She is big into AA. Carol is her name and she is 78 with some mild dementia. She was my sponsor for a bit. now we don't see each other, she is kind of abrasive.

thanks for your kind reminders of the the DUI ramifications, I would lose my nursing license too and my job as it involves driving here ans there.
