I went off the deep end with tons of drugs and booze.
Left a party one night, drunk as fuck, because I was bored. Cops pulled me over, and in my drunken haze, I thought it would be a good idea to just drive away.
I got about a block and a half up the road before I blacked out and totaled my car. Fortunately I didn’t hit anyone else, and I was also super lucky I didn’t injure myself. But I ended up serving a little time and paying a swanky lawyer about $3k to make it go away (as much as possible). The only charge that stuck was evading arrest, because while being as belligerent as possible, I refused to do the breathalyzer. To this day, I don’t know how they didn’t make the DUI stick. But as expensive as the lawdog was, I rarely question it.
That was almost 10 years ago, and I’m still working on getting my shit back on track. But it’s going better than I had hoped.
Don't drink and drive, kids. Almost no one is as lucky as I was.
