Hoping for no judgment and just words of encouragement. Got a DUI 14 years ago in CA. Traveling in Washington. Got one in WA yesterday after a few seltzers. Driving on a narrow road in the daytime, and movement of the wheel can veer anyone off. Ran off the road and car slightly damaged. Thankfully, no injuries. BUT, this is just incredibly overwhelming. Heading back home today but already hired a WA attorney - but the level of anxiety and panic attacks this morning makes me want to vanish. Sad. Mad. Depressed. Angry at MYSELF. If THIS is not my lesson - I don’t know what is. So disappointed in myself. Thank you for listening.

I cannot express my appreciation for all your kind words. I’m keeping them close to my heart and will refer to them daily. Now PTSD from minor accident kicks in - and tomorrow is arraignment and had to fly back to CA. Strong prayers my WA atty can ask for a continuance and I’ll return whenever - but had to come home. Man o man. Long road ahead!
