[quote=Anonymous]I had a DUI in Va, blew the same thing you did in 2001. I remember being angry, depressed, and terrified immediately afterward. It will be ok. You will likely have to pay and enormous fine, take alcohol classes, go to AA meetings and obviously, your license is suspended. You WILL NOT go to jail, but in VA the DUI is on the driver's record for 7 years. THis impacts insurance so get ready to pay out the ass for several years. The biggest loss you will have will be financial, so try to keep that in perspective as you beat yourself up. 10 years later I never think about the DUI, I went to graduate school (but had to divulge), been hired for jobs and although I've never needed a security clearance, it's unlikely to affect that. Your children don't know and aren't disappointed in you. It is a good teaching moment for them though, and I will tell my children about my experience when they are old enough. 
You did a stupid thing. The good news is you'll never do it again and no one got hurt. [/quote]
