[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am PP, not trying to sock puppet but obviously I have a lot strong feelings about this issue. Most of us here have children who we drive with each day, so the idea of "don't sweat it" really burns me up.[/quote] Nobody is saying "don't sweat it." But OP can't go back and change the past, and luckily she didn't hurt anyone. If she never does it again and she can prevent someone else from doing it in the future, what more can you really do? [/quote] The vast majority of people who get caught DUI have driven drunk dozens of times before. Despite the fact that almost every person claims that they got caught the first time - it isn't true, they were just unlucky that time and got caught. And to have a crisis of conscience only over getting caught (and not over the fact they have driven after drinking multiple times before) shows that what they feel bad about is the consequence, not the action. They feel embarrassed they were caught. While it would be great if that embarrassment was sufficient to make people never drive after drinking again - it isn't. The embarrassment wears off with time and many go on to drink and drive again and a percentage of those will get caught and get another DUI. No one can go back and change the past about anything so that is a pretty useless statement. Figuring out why you did the actions you did (when they endangered others)and why you didn't feel badly about it until you were caught is the important part to preventing it happening again. [/quote]
