My fear of injuring or killing someone was my primary reason for quitting drinking. I had already crippled myself and done time in jail. Oddly enough I hit a child with the car (he's fine) when I was sober that finally did it. I made up my mind that I wasn't going to drink again and haven't since.

I've met guys in AA who've been in the group for years. I am continually amazed at their level of committment to sobriety. It's too bad that some people have to take someone's life to come to the level of clarity that you have.

Perhaps you should've just considered giving up driving.

(Just kidding. Sounds like you made the right choice. Good luck.)

I rarely drink, but when I do, I TAKE A DAMNED TAXI!!! I don't care how little it is. Two glasses of wine and I order a taxi. No exceptions.

It's the only solution.
