Preface

I want to start this on a note so that everybody knows what to expect. This is all based on real life experience, and I want people to know that it took me a good portion of my journey to feel confident, optimistic and open enough to share this with the world. There are several reasons to  me beginning to write this in the first place. There is absolutely no road map for people to follow in this process. Most people are too embarrased to share their experience. And yes it is a very hard and sometimes embarrasing situation that you go through in this. I have been humbled to the point of becoming a new person. I feel like I can share my insight and journey with people without feeling bad about myself and without feeling sorry for myself. If you find yourself going through this process, prepare yourself for an emotional roller coaster unlike any you have ever encountered in your life. The only advice to which I can give to anyone in the same situation is to be true to yourself and do not put yourself in the position of being angry. If you do so choose to be angry over any of this at any point in time, you must remember one thing. Be angry at yourself, you are the reason that you are in this situation and nobody else made the decision for your that got you here. Bear in mind this is all first hand account as someone living the DUI second life every day. I am in the same boat as everyone else. We all have different stories and we all have different lifestyles but at the end of the day I am in the trenches with everyone else living the nightmare that I made for myself. Not everyone is willing to accept, but be patient and in time you might come to a point of forgiveness, understanding and a humbling reality of everything. Please leave comments and questions if you have them and I will get back to you on everything. Also the only name that will be used will be mine. Everyone else's namees will be withheld or changed throughout this blog. Happy Reading.
