Learn From My Mistake PLZZZZ!

[killers2]

Hi Friends,
     I come with a message that's been said to you probably a 1000 or more times.  But I'm gonna send that message out one more time!.  DO NOT get behind the wheel if you had something/too much to drink.  It is not worth it no matter what the situation is, or what you are going through!  I'm telling you this because I had a past personal DUI experience (I was an IDIOT)  I was going through a hard time and made a reckless decision.  NO EXCUSE.
      I sincerely hope you won't be an idiot too! In my DUI accident nobody else was involved, and I wasn't injured.  Every single day I think about the fact that it could have been so, SO much worse, and I am not being dramatic when I say I could have taken away another human being's right to life that night.  You could call it lucky or something maybe, but I WILL NOT put myself in a situation again that requires that kind of luck.  If I had even hurt another person that would have haunted me for the rest of my life.  Some decisions CAN'T be taken back.  Remember that please friends. 
     For too, too many people they have to make a DUI mistake to truly understand the finality of this decision making like me .  Again, there may not be a second chance remember it friends. 
     SO..... here is my wish for you.  I don't even actually know you friends, but I care about you, I do.  Truly believe me I do.  I don't want ANYBODY to do what I did.   But I just wish you'll listen because this comes from a deep place in my heart.  When you even think about getting behind the wheel after drinking, just think about the affect you could have on ANOTHER driver's life, or anybody else in your car's life even if they tell you EX. "You're alright to drive" or any excuse. Lastly yourself, which is less important if you choose to drink and drive, but still important too.  When I made my decision to get behind the wheel I was selfish and thinking I had no self worth so it doesn't matter what I do, but now I'm in a better place, been through it and I'm saying you will get through it, and it will get better.  Even if you had low self worth like I did, just please friends think of the person's right to life you could be responsible for.  Thanks for reading.
                                                                             Never Drink and Drive Again!                                                                   
                                                                      Can You Take The Pledge with Me?

Drinking and texting are 2 things that people definitely need to stop doing behind the wheel. Thank goodness no one was hurt and I hope others take that pledge not to get behind the wheel intoxicate as well.

That is so scary.  Thank you for having the courage to share your experience.  Many lives may be saved as a result.

Killer we tend to get smarter and as we get older we have more experiences.So its sometimes easier to make a wiser decision as we get older and realize how foolish we were sometimes when we were younger.

You cant change the past but yo can learn from it and in some cases i think i have as i have gotten older.

Helping a younger person NOT be a fool because of you learning from your past is a good thing.

God is very forgiving.He sees our hearts better than we do ourselves.You sound like you learned a valuable lesson.Take it a step furthur and help others now!!

Thank you for sharing your story.  Unfortunatly some people will always think it won't happen to me, or I'm ok, I can hold my drinks, I'm not drunk.  Sometimes changing comes with age, but sometimes people will never learn.

Yes, thank you for sharing and as much as it was a dramatic experience, I'm glad you have learned from it and survived, and been able to share the experience with others!

LOL.  I don't need anybody to tell me not to drink and drive. 

[southernhorizons]

This is a great message for everyone. So many people have to live with themselves for the rest of their lives, after killing innocent people due to their stupidity of drinking and driving.

[mjdoug03]

We have a friend going to prison this week because he killed someone in a DUI accident 2 years ago. I'm so ashamed to say that.

  You: Silly thing! Do you want to kill yourself and others? Do not drink and drive. It is that simple!

[ghunter]

I hope you learned a lesson.  I never drink and drive, maybe because I do not drink.  I am so happy you did not hurt someone else.  To God be the glory.

[vickysue]

Think God you did not hurt anyone. I wish a drunk had learned his lesson, he hit my son, nephew and the 2 young ladies one night. He was so drunk, driving on the wrong side of the road with no headlights on. By the time the children saw him it was too late and he took al four them and him self out. I feel so bad for his children as they had to grow up knowing what their father did. so many lives were affected that night because of liquor.

I rarely drink, but I would never drink and drive.  I always make sure no one else in my family does, either.  Thankfully no one was injured in your accident.

[aggie49]

i totally agree its not worth drinking or texing or talking on the phone while your behind the wheel i feel they need to go back to the basic phones i use mine for emergency only and if i need to use it i pull over and as far as drinking its not worth it to do this either stay at home have a designated driver or call a cab

[BlackSheepNY]

So very true.  I know 2 people whose lives were changed due to drunk driving.  One of them lost her Mom in a head-on collision.  Of course, the drunk driver walked away unscathed.  The other, to this day, is paying for it (literally "paying" for it) for being the drunk driver.  It's a true nightmare that never goes away.  I think the laws need to be much harsher on drunk drivers than they are now.  What with all the illegals driving around in every state.  Arizona has plenty of them that are drunk drivers.  One killed a Police Officer not too far from where I live over the summer.  Slammed right into the back of his motorcycle and the dolt had his baby in the back seat!
