DWIs Are Real.....



So, I said I will tell my story of my dreaded DWI.  Here it goes.  Its been over 2 months so hopefully, I can remember all the key details.

It started off with me wanting to go to Happy Hour at my favorite spot. I was having a good time.  I was with my sister and a friend. We just chilling.  I had lets see, 2 Kamikazes and a shot of Jose Cuervo. It wasn't a lot.  I'm thinking I was good. So I get in my car, driving to the next spot.  I get on the freeway, and we all know you have to accelerate to get on the freeway. I see the cops all around so I am watching my speed.

Next thing you know the cops are behind me.  I'm thinking to myself I will get the ticket and move on. This buster asks me to get out the car, now the whole time I'm on the phone with the soon to be ex. The officer then proceeds to ask me to do all these field sobriety test. Now I am on a 6 lane freeway and scared out of my mind.  I got these cars zooming by me and here I am standing on one leg with my hands extended out in front of me.

So, I asked the officer could we move over because I was scared, he said," are you not complying?" I said," I'm complying but I'm just scared.  Next thing you know, I am on the hood and he is handcuffing me.  I'm in the backseat of the police car and I seen him and his partner going through my car and purse. I go numb at this point, completely.  I see my car being towed away. I am literally in shock right now. He gets in the car and starts reading this DWI paperwork and I am transported to the Drunk Tank to take a breathalyzer. At this point I'm not thinking I'm arrested, I didn't hear any Miranda rights being read, I'm thinking I am just taking a breathalyzer. Of course I failed the breathalyzer. 

Once that happens, I'm calling my parents, my sisters, my soon to be ex.  I was scared and crying for anybody to get me out. Nobody can help.  So there I am in jail.

I was taken from the Drunk Tank, to the City Jail to the County Jail.  HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. 
I would not wish this on my worst enemy.  These people treat you like trash. The using the bathroom in front of others, the food, the water fountain on top of the toilet.  I couldn't do it.  I got no sleep and barely ate.  25 hours it took me to be processed and bailed out.  Now I am facing some serious consequences. 

Everytime I see someone over doing it, I'm just like DWIs are real in these streets, be careful.  You think it can't happen to you but it really can.  I never thought that it could happen to me but now I am facing a Class B Misdemeanor in Criminal Court. I'm considered a criminal now. Sucks.....

Emotions make you cry sometimes......

That is how I have been feeling.  My emotions are all over the place, like literally. Could it be that I haven't had a period since December? Could it be that I am dealing with all this DWI aftermath stuff? I don't know, but this shit is for the birds. Even when I make myself do something, I wish I would have stayed at home.  UGH..... how can I get over this?

In other news....

I have made up my mind to complete this program called DIVERT for 1st time DWI offenders.  (Oh, wait I haven't written about my DWI here, I will post that another day)  So while on this program, drinking is a no no.  If I drink and test positive for alcohol it is a mandatory 30 days in jail.  I couldn't do 25 hours, so I know I cannot do a full 30 days.  With that being said, I have decided to go out these last couple of weekends in April. Its like I am having a good bye party to alcohol. I won't be getting drunk, I will just be enjoying a couple of drinks.  Feel free to join me.
