I can guarantee there are people reading this that drink and drive. This is the most I've publicly said this, but I used to do it. When I drank, I couldn't not drink and drive. Sure, many times I would plan ahead and take a cab there, but for the unplanned times, somehow I would find a way. Zero control when I would drink.
There is so much guilt when I look back at this time in my life considering the implication it could have had on me, my kids, family, other families etc. I am so lucky nothing ever happened.
Had to make a decision, and for this reason (and others), I'm now almost 8 years sober.
