I was given one year to live, without a liver transplant. Driving to Detroit everyday for six months to piss into a cup; before I would be put on the organ donor list seemed like too much of a hassle besides I only partial stopped drinking. When I was released from the hospital almost exactly 8 years ago, I planned on staying sober. My mom had died in November of 2015; Complications of cirrhosis and then I got real sick and ended up spending 2-3 weeks in the hospital only 1-2 weeks after my mom's death. My sister died a year later in November 2016. I went into a terrible drinking binge: in early December of 2016 I got a DUI. I hadn't drank since the morning/ early afternoon of the day before. I finally quit after almost puking on my doctor. Also the judge at the first hearing told me to not drink.
I left the house feeling fine, but my liver wasn't processing alcohol, then it hit me as I was driving.
The cops took me to the station; but they wanted a blood test to really screw me over.
It was .37 something or .38 something. Nearly 5 times the legal limit and well over the new super drunk, DUI law. The judge was nice to me.
Simple DUI. My worthless public defender was shocked I got off easy.
The funny part was, I can barely remember but I told the doctor I was an alcoholic and if I go to jail and detox, I might die of withdrawals. So I spent a long weekend getting IV morphine and IV Ativan(lorazepam).
A hospital bed with drugs, TV and decent food for a hospital.
Being nice can really help in a sort of minorly bad situation.
