[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so extremely humiliated. I am 48, never go out, had a friend in town, went out to dinner, had two glasses of wine, got in the car and pulled over because my friend had to pee. It was late at night and no place to pull over except side of road. She went, got back in the car and the lights started flashing.

I blew .08. Yes - I know I am guilty - yes, I know that I put lives at risk. I feel awful to the point where I don't even want to get aout of bed. I left messages for two attorneys who have not called me back. I have no idea what to do. I don't know what is coming down the road for me. I have so much anxiety over what I did that I just want to vomit. Even when I was youg, I would always take cabs and can't believe this lapse of judgement.

Can someone recommend an attorney for Howard County?
has anyone gone thru this and can tell me what could happen to me (they took my license, but I can still drive to and from work)
I obvioulsy learned my lesson and am grateful to God that no one got hurt - but when will my massive guilt and anxiety go away?

This is not me!!! I screwed up when I had been so adamant about drinking and not driving. I had more common sense when I was younger and just can't get over the fact that as someone who rarely drinks, never goes out, and then gets caught.

I am a former traffic prosecutor and a .08 is NOT a horrible score.  In fact Howard County probably has some program you can enter and if you complete it you can afford a conviction.  Most jurisdictions have soMething like this.   Don't beat yourself up.  We all, including me, have driven buzzed or drunk befoRe.  Just don't do it again.  You will be FINE.

I may be sounding dramatic, but I seriously can not live with myself right now. I have children - too young to know what happened. My husband, although supportive, is making me feel worse. I f*cked up, deserve what I get, but still - part of me can't help and think "why me". What is going to happen!!!!!!????[/quote][/quote]
