2nd DUI for me I completely understand where you are coming from. I got one in high school, 1st one was like a slap on the wrist because I only had to do community service and unsupervised probation. For this one I have had to go to inpatient rehab ($5k) breathalyzer has been on my car for a year now ($1k) license has been suspended for a year now because I didn’t do breathalyzer. I’ve had a hardship license for a year now with the ongoing trial. Judge just ruled that since I’m a prior offender now I’m losing my hardship license. License suspended for another year. Gotta do SATOP over again which means either intensive outpatient or inpatient which is another 5k. Breathalyzer for another year at minimum. I could go on and on. I already had depression before this, it was pretty mild. Now my life literally feels like it has been turned upside down. Contemplate killing myself on a regular basis now a days because of this living nightmare. Now I work at a shitty minimum wage job that is in walking distance of my house. And of course, I used to have a driving job so will never be able to get one of those again. It’s never ending

Kerry I am so sorry for what you are going through. I did my 2 years already. I know and realize that when this happens the courts don't care and they will make you pay. It will increase your depression since you cant do what you used to. I know you will get stuck paying a shit ton of money just to operate normally. The funny thing is that they want you to pay for all the fines but you cant work a decent job to pay those fines. Its a never ending circle in which they want you to be trapped in the system. I knew this one woman that was on probation for 7 years. I mean 7 years. All because she kept losing jobs because she cant go to work. Believe me Kerry I don't take any of this shit lightly and that is why I make these vids. Maybe it might help you. I am so glad that you commented on this video. It helps me realize that I am not blowing smoke. I would love for you to watch more of my vids and give comments that way I can make better videos. Once again thank you and I do understand your struggle. One Day you will put this shit behind you.

Thanks for commenting. You are right I am grateful that I am still living. But having a mental illness combined with a DUI did not have me at 100%. Most people when at that situation will be normal and nothing happens but for me it really hit me hard. I was trying to relay what my experiences during that time. I know I sound like I am taking things for granted but some people can not deal with things like this very positively. I do these vids to relay my experience and maybe help others. You are correct that I did something very stupid like drunk driving and I deserve the punishment that I got, I understand that. There are a lot of people I have met that went through the same thing and had the same problems. These days I am in a better place but at the time of the video there was other things goin on in my life that was not so positive. I do appreciate your comment and maybe that is a way of telling me to not be so serious about certain things in my life. So thank you for your comment. Please watch more of my vids and give me some feedback if you like.

A dui will ruin my life?! I understand what you’re saying and I agree but I just cannot allow it to. I’m so scared. I just got my first and I keep having to pick myself up telling myself to make me stronger from it. But at the end of the night I find myself crying myself to sleep and then when I wake up, it’s like reality just hits me fresh all over again and all I want to do is go back into dreamland. I know I messed up and I’ll never do that again. I can’t even imagine the pain people go through when losing a loved one to a drunk driver. I must say I am blessed that I wasn’t hurt or hurt anyone else. But all that being said... I just got my first and haven’t even gone to court yet and I can barely breathe I’m so scared and feel so alone. :”( it’s so expensive too. I’m a young single mom to a baby boy in a wheelchair who has Spina Bifida and I can’t even imagine losing my license because how am I going to take him to all his doctor appointments, physical therapy, kindergarten, etc. I fu**ed up and now I’m paying for it harshly. Any advice is very welcomed. Thanks for sharing.

As a first time offender you won't lose your license as long as you take the classes.. pay the reinstatement fees and install a breathalyzer on your car. Your insurance goes up but I shopped around and my insurance went from 150 to 220. I remember the sheer anxiety and feeling like a complete bama loser. But day by day I got through it dealt with it I felt so embarrassed .. but when I went to court it was sooooo many other dui offenders ...I'm like ok IT could happen to anybody. I continued to struggle with drinking even after getting the blower so I got a pocket breathalyzer to make sure I was at 0 before blowing into the blower. But I'm ok. IT WILL NOT Ruin your life, it's about.perspective. Unless you keep doing it after the first time. LEARN THE LESSON. I'm not drinking and driving another day in my life.

I drove "drunk" for 50 miles. From Illinois to MO from a wedding I attended. I got stopped at a checkpoint and refused to blow so I was arrested. I spent 3 nights in jail got bailed out for $125 dollars. I asked if I could contact my roommate so he could come get my car and they refused. My car was impounded and it cost me $250 to get it out and on top of that I got an SR22 for my insurance which is close to $500 a month and ontop of my car payment is that of a monthly payment of a fucking Lambo. Lost my job because my license is suspended for 12 months. Lost my apartment because I lost my job. I had to move in with my uncle who lives in the middle of fucking nowhere. I have to do 40 hours of classes which cost me 150$ to enroll and 85$ a class which are 8 hours long and 5 days a week. On top of that I have to pay over 5k in fines and with no job I obviously cannot pay so I'm forced to do community service. How am I suppose to work, take classes, and do community service? It isn't possible. I paid my lawyer 15 hundred dollars for jack fucking shit. I'm getting the same punishment as if I never hired a lawyer. Don't get a lawyer UNLESS you're looking to fight the charge. In my case I cannot because again I refused to blow. I take full responsibility for my stupid mistake to drive intoxicated. It's really dumb to drink and drive. But I had 2 beers and 3 glasses of wine and drove 50 miles without killing myself or anyone else. I wasn't swerving into oncoming trafic or driving erratic I was stopped at a fucking checkpoint by state police literally 4 blocks from my home. It has completely ruined/rendered my life. I cannot work or anything. The law is straight overkill.

I was placed on court supervision for a dui in Illinois. I was sleep deprived and my dad was shaking me in my sleep. I was sleep walking and don’t remember anything up to the point of being pulled over. I don’t deserve this and I was always paranoid about drinking and driving. I am depressed and I’m pissed my father for shaking me and letting me go drive away drunk. I called a few lawyers and none wanted to use sleepwalking as my defense.. “anyone can say that.” And if I took it to trial, they could fuck me over worse and convict me. I am wearing a alcochol monitoring bracelet and I just got a violation that I tried to “tamper” with the bracelet... false accusation, more money thrown out... So far I spent about $10 grand... I came here hoping this guy would say something positive but it’s all pessimism. If you got a dui, be grateful you’re okay and no one is hopefully hurt, and worse things happen in life.. atleast you’re not bedbound or you don’t have cancer... over time, things can’t get much worse so they can only get better.. God bless.
