About OWI'sSUCK78
- Biography:
- My "biography" contains my story as to why I am writing on this site.
I live in Milwaukee, a city that bears more bars per capita than any other cities. I drink socially or I am a binge drinker. Either way, I used to live in the city and always had a plan when I drank: taxi, DD, bus...whatever. But then I moved to the suburbs. I drove back into the city one night with a lot of stress on my mind. I made the decision to drink on top of a new medication. $1.00 Pabst night at a pub caused me to get an OWI, 1st Offense because I did not have an exit plan and drove back out of the city. After court, I had an $800 fine, a driver safety class that I had to pay for rather than the state b/c I had my own insurance that cost $1100, and an interlock device for 12 months @ $70/mo. + $15/mo. re-calibration fees. It also cost $200 to re-instate my DL.
I think the thing that bothers me the most, (besides not being able to drive b/c I refused to get my occupational license with SR22 insurance and I have had to pay so much money to the state), is that no one took my keys or told me not to drive. I even dropped a friend off that I don't even remember. The saying is old and perhaps even over-played, but it is true that "Friends don't let friends drive drunk". I do take responsibility but I wish there was someone there to help me make a better decision when I was too impaired to do so.
