Congrats on putting down the drink. Dealing with the fallout with a dui is alot and draining. Im sorry youre dealing with those consequences. How have you stayed sober this long?

It has caused me so much distress, I do not even think about it at all and I drank most days

I was just thinking, that I had myself convinced I would never be caught drink driving, I drank almost everyday not huge amounts just enough for a hit hid all from my family, have struggled since with my marraige and have not yet told our adult children am terrified they will disown me. Looking back now with all of the deceit lies the hiding, I find it difficult to reconsile that behaviour, it is like I was a different person , I have still not told any of my siblings or friends I feel totally isolated, my wife says she dosent hate me just hates what I have done. I feel so bad for her as she does not deserve whatt I have done. I am 65yrs old and one would think I should have done something wrthwile and not be laying this on our doorstep. With the depression I find it difficult to feel the goodness and well being of not drinking

Oh man it sounds like you are feeling a heavy burden. Alot of us have been there. You arent alone. The addiction causes us to rationalize and justify and moments like these bring forth a reality of how far down weve come. I understand the guilt, shame, and depression but dont let yourself seep in those emotions too much or you’ll only resort back to unhealthy coping mechanisms. Use this setback as fuel to make a change that you may have not been ready to make before.

P.s. you dont have to share this dui with everyone right now. Focus on you and getting to a better place mentally and physically

349 days. It is difficult not to be too excited for my 1 year milestone. One day at a time but can’t wait to post my milestone.

I love living sober!
