Thanks everyone for being supportive and understanding. I am obviously not looking for anyone to condone or write off my behavior. I am saddened, embarrassed, and generally sick about what I have done, not to mention very scared about what I am about to go through. The only thing that offers a bit of consolation is knowing that I did not hurt anyone.
A lot of you here are friends whom I trust and care about, so it seemed logical to share what I am going through with you. I am sorry if it angered or irritated anyone, or made anyone think that I could possibly be trivializing my actions.
i\'ve got nothing but love for you, dear, i\'m grateful that you are okay.

Don\'t get too down on yourself Joc. You made a mistake (that thousands of people make), but you didn\'t hurt anyone. It\'s not whether you get knocked down, it\'s whether you get up (V. Lombardi).
what doesn\'t kill you only makes you stronger.
I learned something about BAC the other day that I was unaware of.
It seems that women process alcohol through their bodies slower than men do. So ladies keep it in mind that if you are even close to being altered that if you get pulled over there is a very good chance you will blow a higher BAC as your body isn\'t as efficient at processing the alcohol out of your system
Just another reason to take a guy home
Once, at Spring Weekend at Uconn, I got waste-case at whatever night it was, and had a buddies dorm-room lined up to crash in. Unfortunately, we got seperated somewhere through the night and I ended up locked out of his dorm at like 4 am. It was pouring rain, so I could only attempt to break in for about 15 minutes before giving up and going to sleep in my car in the parking lot behind "The Jungle". It was freezing cold and raining Hurricane Bob-style, so I turned on my car to get some heat goin, and passed out in the driver\'s seat. I woke up two hours later with my car still running and a ticket on my windshield for not having a permit to park in that specific parking lot. Oops.

:lol:

so how many stories do you think start this way?
Got mail today stating what the prosecution is recommending:
* $1500 fine plus 20% penalty assessment
* 18 month license suspension
* One of those in-car breathalyzer things
* 3 days in HOC, followed immediately by one week in-patient rehab
* 2 years probation
This is all pending good behavior. If I were to screw up, it\'d be a bigger fine, 2 year license loss, and 6 months in jail.
*sigh*
Ugh sorry Joc.
See Southbridge thread for my near-death experience last night.
Step up the carpooling with designated drivers folks cause this
**** sucks, really sucks.
well, you certainly made me not want to drive drunk ever, so thanks for that.
sorry for the harsh penalties
Sorry Joc. I know that I\'ve been an ass in this thread in the past, but honestly feel for you. My anger of my car was misguided at your situation. Fight this if you can; you don\'t deserve all of those punishments, that\'s just overkill.
I\'ve heard you have to pay for the installation of the in car breathalizer, any word on that, if so how much is it?
