if marty's post doesn't drive it home to him, nothing will. i see the effects of drunk driving almost every day in my work. i don't know where this person lives but here in illinois, his THIRD offense would have resulted in a felony and he would be doing hard time.
i sometimes think alcohol is even more addictive than drugs. i just don't know, maybe because it's easier to get and isn't illegal, in and of itself. but i just can't wrap my brain around the idea that a person can get stumbling drunk and get behind the wheel of a car OR on a motorcycle! i never realized how bad an addiction this can be until we had a client in here last year who was on his 4th DUI. even after spending time in a state prison and coming out dry, he went right back to his old ways. not only did he drink and drive, he drank and drove...you better be sitting down for this one...AFTER A LIVER TRANSPLANT!!! how, in God's name, can a person go through such a medical crisis and then put poison in his body, poison that will surely kill him???
this man is now sitting is prison. we hear from him almost weekly...complaining because he isn't getting his anti-rejection drugs on time and he's afraid he will die. i have absolutely NO sympathy for him. none! and i never will. :no:
