Quick and Dirty
1. On the night of November 30th I got arrested and given a DUI. I didn't hit anything or anyone. It could have been a million times worse. The handcuffs did hurt a little though.
2. I had a week long panic attack. I'm way better now. Way way better. Therapy and new meds and not drinking for a while has helped a lot. It's been 34 days since I've had any alcohol and I plan to keep it that way for a little while longer.
3. Legally, until I'm sentenced on the 17th, I can't go into any bars or taverns or refuse a breathalyzer test. I don't know what will happen on the 17th but I'll know more after I meet with my public defender on the 7th.
4. Alcohol is not the solution to my anxiety.
5. This has all been very hard but manageable. I got this.
