Quote From: nilysm47 I was addict for 30yrs. And I had three DUI's. I am sober and clean now for six years. It took also a heart attack to wake me up. I pray to God that I did not hurt anyone while I was driving. I use to take alot of drugs to get away from it all...now I take drugs to stay with it all.
I hope and pray all people who drink allow others to drive.
My daughter was the light of my life, she worked hard to as an undergrad in phychology and then a law degree. She found a wonderful job in Washington, D C. After a break up with her boyfriend she moved and was very lonely. One day in March we were talking on the phone and I could tell she was drinking. My husband and I talked to her about the possiblity of getting hurt, and she told us she was going to stay home and not drive. The next day we received a phone call from a detective, she was found at the bottom of steps dead. They think she only walked up two steps and fell backward with such force she hit her head, hemoridged and died. She was home alone, so it could of happened anytime within a ten hour period.
I am having a very hard time functioning, I loved her so much, and she was my only child. She left many people with much heartache. She worked so hard, traveled, had many wonderful friends, but started drinking during break up with boyfriend. She said it made her feel better and wasn't so lonely. She was 32 years old, everything she worked so hard for was coming to fruitione. It is not just drinking and driveing that can kill you or others.
