I Have a Dui

I'm Dead...

Written on June 3rd, 2009

Last night was the worst night ever. I went over to my friend’s houses as always and we all got drunk. I had 2 beers and 2 shots. Well about an hour later my friends were sloshed and my brother and his girl and friend wanted to go to Denny’s. So we get there order food and then he was like I forgot my wallet at the house. So I said you guys sit here and I’ll go get the wallet. Well stupid me couldn’t figure out how to turn on the headlights. I’m fidgeting at a red light to turn on the lights when the cop pulls up next to me and lights go off. A minor under the influence driving on a cancelled license. I’m screwed. 2 weeks ago I got a MIP in Boulder. YOU’D THINK I LEARNED! I have no job because I have a record. And yup my life is over. This couldn’t have happened at worse time in my life.

Your life is NOT OVER!! I got a DUI two years ago and thought same thing. But I took the darn classes, had the interlock in for five months and then moved on. I got an apartment and an amazing job with the DUI on my record. I was just honest when I had background checks and admitted it was a huge mistake I leaned from. I will never drink and drive again. Think of it as a blessing in disguise that you didn't hurt anyone. When I got mine a girl in jail holding next to me had killed someone drunk driving. You will move forward and get past this. Learn from it!

Your life isn't over. I am not sure how it is done in Boulder, but here we have first offender status. Usually if you are still a minor it is only on your juvenile record and after you become and adult it cannot be accessed or used against you. In time the feeling of dispair will pass. It was a bad judgement, but not the end of the world. We have all made mistakes in our live and we all do learn from them. It is what you do with what you have learned that makes a difference. Also being convicted of a DUI is different that having the DUI taken under advisement. So just hold your head high and see what happens. Taking responsibility is the first step. Good luck....

Your life isn't over. Your life is trying to tell you something though. Thank goodness it was a cop that stopped you and not an accident where you hurt or killed an innocent person.

Listen and stop doing things like this. Today's a brand new day!
