A DUI is Ruining My Life
Several months ago, I messed up and earned myself a DUI (driving under the influence). What I did was wrong, and I am not making any excuses. However, guilty as I may be, the punishment has been brutal. This thing has flat out ruined my life.
After my mandatory stay in the big house, I quickly realized I would not be able to keep my job because I can not get back and forth. Public transportation does not exist since I don’t live in a big city. And getting a taxi every day to go thirty some miles each way would make it not worth it anyway.
No job means no income. My money ran out faster than I thought it would. Frankly, the legal stuff pretty well wiped me out anyway. And none of the businesses near my apartment are hiring. I am literally to the point of selling things that I don’t absolutely need.
A perfect example is my motorcycle; that’s not exactly something I need since I no longer have a driver’s license. And what icing that cake had: I can’t drive to a California notary to get the title notarized! I actually had to find a notary who was a mobile notary so she could come to my apartment and stamp the title so I could turn my bike into cash.
