8 years ago I recked my car and managed to get a DUI.
I never handled it until now because I’d like to finally drive at almost 3 years sober..
I get frustrated with it, then I cuss and swear when it’s not cooperating..
But today I have to admit that every time I breathe into it, a memory flashes in my mind of why I have it. The day I tried to end things. I am then reminded of where I was that night and where I am now and I wouldn’t trade that time in my life for anything, nothing!
Today I have a pretty “normal” existence. It’s kinda boring and I like it that way. I have my family, fiancé, dog and child in in my life. I laugh. I cry when it’s appropriate. I smile all the time. Thanks to my higher power, sponsor, sponsorship, and definitely the steps…. I am alive.
It’s not too bad to have this interlock device and it’s only temporary.

It’s crazy to imagine that we can be grateful for the same things that we once hated or feared. Today I am a grateful alcoholic.
