nope sure dont...
i only medicate in the evenings for the most part.
to drive impaired in any manner shows a lack of respect for human life.
i judge your actions not your person.
regardless of what i think of your actions,now you ARE in outpatient treatment and will have to attend.
you could continue to bitch about it or:
try to learn something..
anything!!!
if you have to be there make your time productive.
hey randude how come you didn't keep your other username ?
Jump through the hoops and you won't have any issues.
Learning their lingo will go a long way to dupe dupers.
Well in the state of Washington they lowered the blood alcohol level to .08 which is about two drinks. If a person can't drive after two drinks they shouldn't drive at all. I was busted for .13 or about 4 drinks. Many folks do that every day. Many more are driving on methadone, xanax or vicadin. If you get pulled over around the holidays for a routine check and they smell beer you are probably getting a DUI. And for me, I have never caused a car wreck in my life. Never. No speeding tickets for many years, no criminal record.
Do I think I did the right thing? Fuck no. But the punishment is pretty high. I seen folks with heroin get less punishment than me. That is a fact.
I hope you don't say this to the counselors there. They'll see right through it.
Each drink adds .02 to the blood of an average sized individual. This would mean, in your case that it would take seven drinks to reach that level. Now you have to figure that the liver metabolizes .02 per hour. So if you consumed those seven drinks in one hour, you would have had to have consumed eight drinks. And as it probably took an hour from the time you were stopped until the test was given, let's add another drink.....
Your conselors are going to know that you lied to them regarding this. It will do nothing but keep you there forever. The more you try to snow them the more they will feel you need their help. And you'll never get off the counseling. It may be a three month program but if they feel you haven't "passed", so to speak, you can do it again......
Do you get what I'm saying?
Exactly. If you had said "I'm not quite sure - I was at a family BBQ / gathering all day and was drinking pretty consistantly throughout. I know what I did was stupid, and I shouldnt have been driving" you would get minimum treatment and counseling, and they would have pretty much left you alone.
And they don't get paid for the counseling they don't dispense.Your attitude is 100% responsible for whatever 'punishment/recommendation' that drug and alcohol counselor's hand out. Keep it straight, you'll be fine. Bullshit them, they'll just fuck with you. These aren't stupid cops, they are trained to try and help/deal with alcohol/drug use/abuse.
My counselor tried to interject impertinent details as well. I even asked the guy to reference my file directly regarding his subsequent comments. He told me his "memory is just fine, thank you."If I dont recall weren't you also having some issues regarding klonopin and having a few brews and getting behind the wheel / blacking out? Seems to me you need an attitude adjustment Dude.
