To anybody here recently with a DUI I can tell you from experience that it will get better, your life will go on and it's not the end of the world. I got a DUI 08/16/19 and of course I felt like many of you, depressed, sad, feeling shame for having a DUI attached to my name, feeling embarrassed anytime I had to utter the words DUI to anyone I had to tell. It's a scary, crappy feeling. But in time it goes away and you hit that stage of just wanting to do what you gotta do and put it behind you. It was a mistake you made that day/night just consider yourself lucky for not hurting anyone or yourself. What's done is done so just move forward and focus on never making that same mistake twice. I got caught ditching a checkpoint and was taken in immediately after submitting to a blood test at the hospital. I got a lawyer to help me through the process and ultimately I had a bac of 0.17 I remember everything that happened when I got pulled over and cooperated to the fullest. I was scared as can be and nervous just thinking about everything I had just screwed up and how I was going to have to tell my family and friends. I did 8 hours in a cell and they let me go home. I never applied for a restricted license even though I was able to, but because I gave my car to my sister afterwards I felt I didn't need the restricted and would just do the full blown suspension of 4 months. Luckily my job wasn't in jeopardy and I live relatively close so it wasn't an issue for me to not have my license immediately. I received 6 months of DUI classes which I attended once a week, I had to go to 22 AA meetings, pay a fine of 1,100 dollars, attend a MADD class, and do 8 hours community service. As the months went by I started letting up on myself and realized I'm one of many who have a DUI, a lot of us (them) are good people with good intentions, we just messed up one night in our lives. I completed everything I had to complete, got the SR22 insurance and I got my license back. If I can give you some advice get the SR22 INSURANCE immediately even if it's Non-owners, the time you have it starts immediately when you get it. I have to have it for 3 years. I know it seems like a lot but one thing at a time and it will get done. Good luck to you all, no feeling is permanent it's just for the moment.

Good advice man, just got mine and have 1st court date in mid October. Wrecked my sisters car so made me feel even more like a fuckin idiot (which I am for making that choice smh) either way. Usually make the right decisions, sucks I put people in jeopardy that night but I’m ready to get this whole thing rolling and just looking for ways to contribute to society, and ways to start forgiving myself. Reading this certainly helped, thanks again!

How is your life now?

If you get a dui! Don’t panic, hire an experienced dui attorney! If there were no accidents where ppl were not injured that’s a plus! Also if you have clean record or minor arrest that’s another plus! There ways to either have a dui case dismissed or charges reduced to a less offense! Again it all depends on the case & the experience lawyer! Stay positive, this is pretty much a wake up call, many ppl I know won their cases or got charged reduced or even dismissed! Never ever plead guilty! Take it a a step at a time...

I just got a dui over the weekend. I’m so depressed and scared. I feel like I ruined my life. Hoping for the best outcome because I can’t calm myself down.

Thanks for the video! I got my first a few months ago, I'm about 4 months into having the interlock device. No issues until this morning, as it had been sitting in single digit temps all weekend. These things definitely malfunction in the cold, so find a way to keep the POS warm when you're not driving. After the classes and fines, life does start to go back to normal. I get my device taken out in 8 months, counting down the days.

I'm 3 months into my probation. Court was hell. I had panic attacks on the regular leading up to it and then during the month after when I was almost getting killed everday on the bus. First few months are absolute trash. AT times I would break down and want to scream because they just poured more and more bullshit on me every chance they got, and SO many people now have absolute power over me you feel like your freedom is a damn illusion, and it kinda is. Financially, its a nightmare. All I can say is its a little less intolerable now but it still pretty much dominates my identity. Trying to have a social life on probation is laughable. It's basically outdoor jail. GL.

Had one dui, took a year and half of my life. Happened at worst time because I was about to get great gov't job and was denied coz of case pending, was devastated. But since recovered and all good now. Never heard of a breathalyzer ignition lock on first offense. But laws/rules get stricter and stricter.

I got my first DUI about a week ago. I ended up in a ditch (no one was harmed), and as I was trying to push my car out of the ditch I got lit up. I've never had an encounter with the police so I was cooperative and just did everything the officer told me to do. I did the field sobriety tests, and the breathalyzer and blew a .24 on scene. I spent the night in jail and got out the next afternoon on bail. I retained a lawyer who is going to try and lessen my sentence, but I am honestly scared shitless. I am a senior in college who is supposed to graduate next semester. I was given a temporary drivers permit upon being released, but does anyone have any DUI experiences in the state of Michigan? The fear of the unknown has been eating me alive, I haven't been able to sleep or eat in a week.

Blew a 0.08 and did field sobriety test very well in my opinion. Also blew a 0.08 on the "big" test inside the jail. I'm also a senior in college about to graduate next semester. Our stories are VERY similar. I'm also scared to death. I can't sleep for thinking about it. I hired a lawyer which cost me $5,500. Haven't told anyone in my family that it happened. I took out a loan to pay him. I also got a pink sheet about a consent to have a hearing about the suspension of my license. My lawyer said I'll most likely have to get an interlock device installed on my car which costs every fucking month. My court trial date is August 5. My lawyer faxed that pink consent form to driver control and I'm waiting on a letter from them in the mail about the hearing. I'm here to talk if you want, as I'm suffering through the same issue.

I feel for you. I dont want to even drive anymore. No fun. Too risky. Law enforcement allowed to use excessive force is allowed, to provoke us into anger. They can blame it on us. Alcohol sold everywhere, is from local brewers. Stimulates economy. But, too many fassists. I ride my bike and walk as much as possible. Dont drink alcohol.

I was 19 when I got my UNDERAGED DUI. I live in North Carolina so it's the harshest state for the "No Tolerance" policies. Anyways, I remember the entire thing like it was yesterday. It was exactly a year ago in June of 2017. Just started college...started experimenting with drinking. I had probably 3 beers and a shot of vodka didn't even feel drunk...two hours later, it was still in my system apparently. Whatever. So on my way back home, I ended up getting stopped at a check point and I was literally the very first person they stopped. When I saw those blue lights, all of the blood in my body felt like it rushed to my toes. I blew a .09. The cop was cool about it, he knew I was scared shitless so he kind of did his best to let me know I was going to be fine. At the jail house after processing, and my final blow, it dropped to a .06 which is barley under the legal limit of .08. So finally my mom came and picked me up. I had to pay $300 for a 4 day AA class. $400 just to TALK to my lawyer, on top of $2,500 for him representing me. And $200 worth of court fines. Finally in February of this year, the cop who arrested me actually ended up resigning and moving to another state, the judge understood that it was a huge choice of mistake on my part, and I'm currently a nursing student. Everything got dropped by the grace of God. I was able to keep my license, my insurance didn't go up, and I didn't have to have an interlock device. I wouldn't wish a DUI on my worst enemy but you will get through it. You never think it will happen to you, but you never understand it until it does.

Bailey Mills Hey From Raleigh I’m fighting a Fake DUI of Cannabis charge from April 2015 with a court appointed attorney. When we lost the case I appealed so I could go before a Jury. I go back to Wake county NC court January 28th 2019. JK Legan (former Wake County Sherrif now NC State Trooper) is Guilty of Lying against me and Threatening to kill me at the Checkpoint using intimidation in order to get False DUI convictions. I have Suffered with PTSD ever since this Checkpoint, I have a panic attack if I get an unexpected visit at home, I’m afraid of law-enforcement & I think that they are out to kill me or lie against me to make money. I have prayed on this for years and I have successfully started my own business as a Twitch Streamer but I just don’t make enough money for an attorney. I need help and I need prayers, I need people to share my GoFundMe and help me out

I got a dui less safe any drug last year in 2022 and I went a got a lawyer right away!! Cost me total with classes and everything close to 7k . My lawyer fought and fought and got it reduced to reckless driving! Lesson absolutely learned!! Never ever again in my life will I smoke in my vehicle!!!!!!! This shit taught me a lot!!!!!!

I live in Maine. I paid over 3 grand and lost my license for a year, luckily my brother drove me back and forth to work. But I had to go to classes and counseling. Luckily I have my license back and i learned my lesson. Edit: I didn't get a lawyer, I knew I was guilty and I didn't have the money for one.

Just got my first dui man blew .08 thank you bro this eases my mind man! Been so stressed and abandoned atleast I’ll learn from it.

Thank you so much. I feel such like a failure. But I know this too shall pass .

Thank you so much for this video

I used to drive drunk consistently for about 6 months a while back, morning to night. I also did several days long road trips while drunk. I had a real problem at that point. Im not proud of it, i know that what i did was awful. And you know what, you have the right to say whatever you want about me, im not proud of it at all. I never had an accident, and i did get pulled over once while i was probably a bit over the legal limit but i luckily acted sober enough and just got the warning for going 5 over. The fact that nothing came of this other than the physical effects of my addiction is honestly a miracle. I got so many second chances here, and i just cant go back to those days, i know how lucky i am right now.

So I have a couple questions. What happens if when you blow it fails? Does the car not turn on? Are you able to have a glass of wine or a beer when out at all? Does it gauge the over legal limit to fail you or any alcohol?

I'm right there with ya Anya. I had my third court appearance today which finalized my case, and I have 10 days to obtain a restricted drivers license, get the intoxicator installed in my car, and report for a years worth of probation. If only I stayed at my brother's house that night when he tried to explain to me how intoxicated I was, I wouldn't be facing any of this. But we will get through it. It was my first offense (never even gotten a speeding ticket and I'm 25), but it was my BAC of .298 that got me.

update?

... you just reminded me of another story... about 10 years ago i'm not going to write every single detail about it... but lets just put it this way.. my keys were in the ignition because i was listening to my tunes, (i wasn't even inside of my car).. i was parked at whiskeys... got arrested, got charged with "impaired care and control of a vehicle" .. and they consider it the same as a Dui here (i had no idea... ) so i still had to go through all of that (ignition interlock, classes and whatnot) paid a little over 8 grand for my lawyer... the crown of attorney was surprisingly on my side as well but the judge assumed i would have drove, so that's why i was found "guilty" ... over an assumption ...it was definitely horrible ** the one thing i HAD to purchase was the portable device because they kept all records of the one you use in the car*** so if you were to drink the night before and still had alcohol in your system? (yeah.. not good) ontario has a pretty strict policy when it comes to that...def learned my lesson.. if i get caught again i'm going directly to jail for 12 days i really respect that you shared this story because many people wouldn't want to talk about it again *Edit* one more thing... once you guys get the system removed? be careful.. because cops will just randomly stop you to see if you're drinking and driving again, or even smell like booze from the night before..

You’re totally cool for doing this video I just got my DUI but I’m like older but I had a DY 10 years prior so this counts as a new do I and oh my God bodily injury they Misdemeanor already and I haven’t even gone to court yet ❤❤

I got a dui when I was 17 now I’m 18 do I need to get one of those things in my car? And is it any different if I was underage because 17 is considered underage in my state so.

Expect to pay alot of money, not beable to drive for a while and learn not to do it again.

thank you... you cleared a lot of confusion up

I am in my 8th month with Smart start installed. You just have to relax and realize it is something you have to live with. I am not embarassed about having one. I tell many people about it and show them the thing you blow into. I have no camera installed. Just play by the rules and all should be OK. At install I was told....dont drink late at night if you have to drive early the next day so you should keep that in mind. I think 12 hours is the rule of thumb but I could be wrong?. My settings are 0.02 Warn 0.04 Fail. Obviously Pass senses 0 or next to no alcohol. To blow into the device to start I have to hum as I blow. Say the word WHO as you blow for 7 seconds should be OK. Once started you will be asked to blow the same way again in 5 minutes or so could be longer than that. The next request to blow will be about 20 minutes or so after the first blow request. You get about 5 minutes to blow so you could pull over if you want to. The frustrating part is when it beeps and asks you to blow longer or harder or softer. You should be OK with it after a few days. I think the secret is to not let it play on your mind that you have one. Just accept it. But remember YOU and only YOU are responible for the results. Well I think that is pretty much it from me.

I just got convicted of my first DWI. I fought it because I was not drunk, but the court suppressed our evidence that the wrong results were accredited to me with the person who’s blood was analyzed directly after mine. This person in question blew a .26 and his results came back at .04 (mouthwash levels and scientifically impossible) I blew a .06 and my results came back as .13. After the trial when the lawyers went to talk to the the jury, The jury said they believed the officer lied, by based my decision solely on the blood results which is what was suppressed by the courts because from what my lawyer said they would have had to throw out every DWI case that toxicologist had performed. I was truly rail-roaded by the system and it’s seriously depressing. I’m considering going to the news about this but I am really scared after going through trial and seeing how the system can completely falsify so much information and take you down. What scares me the most is what if this was a serious crime and I was facing harsher sentences for something I did not do.

Thank the Universe I did not hit or injure myself or anyone else, I read the police report and it stated I was driving around 30mph and drove straight into a ditch. A witness who had seen my automobile face down in a ditch called the police. In the police report, I was apparently laying face down in a muddy ditch when the responding officer showed up. He had asked if I had been drinking, which I told him the truth, told him that I would fail any FST's but I would take a breathalyzer test. After performing the test, that's when I was told the result was .298. I wasn't combative at all and was totally compliant with him (which helped my case in court). He handcuffs me in the front and takes me to the county jail to be processed.

Champagne n Campaign that ain’t no lie. People in my classes spent 5 thousand at least for an attorney alone, just for the attorney to show up to that persons hearing and basically nod their head with the judge and do nothing about the penalties or agreement made with the state. Prosecutors already decide the punishment based on the alcohol levels when that person blew or had a blood test, at least from what I grasped from personal experience and from friends stories. How that person acted on video footage from the arrest also has a lot to do with The prosecutors actions as well lol. So yeah, each county is different too from other counties even if they are 15-20 minutes away with how they deal with punishments.All a sucky money making deal.

That's absolutely no true. I have known several people who hired attorney's and got their convictions dropped down to reckless, that's a HUGE difference, telling people not to hire an attorney for a minor DUI is absolute insanity and terrible advice. Getting it dropped to wreckless is the difference between having to pay a few fines and take a few classes, vs having a DUI on your record, having to install an interlock device, paying thousands more to the state, etc. Not to mention even if you're convicted for the DUI with an attorney they can have several of the stipulations dropped.
