Ok, so before I get lots of negative feedback about why would I share this, why is it important, ect... let me say, I share my experiences to possible help others and to help myself as I continue on this long journey. I hope this doesnt upset anyone, and that you will keep reading, you may find it interesting.
That being said... Today marks the one year mark of when I got my DWI. This past year has been filled with alot of ups and downs resulting from this. It woke me up. It made me realize I had, and still have(but on a much smaller and controlled scale) ,a problem. It made me realize that I was hurting more than just myself, but the poeple around me. I could have killed someone that day, but the Lord lead some one to call and have me pulled over. Years of driving under the influence had made me believe it was ok and that I could not get caught. Although it has cost me several thousand dollars, a few friendships, and many tears, I can look back and say I am thankful. It made me realize it was time to grow up. I have been changing my life since then, and I will continue to do so. I hope that one day I can quit drinking alltogether, but things come in baby steps sometimes. Im learning lessons about life and myself through this that I would have never stopped to think about before. So I will always remember this day as an awakening. And when I reach my final goal of being sucessful and truely alchohol free, I will look back at this day with an adoration for making me aware that I am worth more. Keep me in your prayers, its not an easy road. I know I put myself here, but I also know that Im digging out.
Have a fab day folks~
