Don't Drink and Drive people

[kingofkingsschizo]

Remember this holiday season it’s good to have a good time but make sure you don’t drive. If you have been drinking or doing other substances this holiday season. Don’t drink and drive.

I wasnt very close with him per say but me and his brother were/are still best friends. And its hard to know someone you love and cherish lost someone they love and cherish the most. Please be safe everyone. Love you all.

No results button on purpose. If there's more than one, pick the most common, and if you've never been drunk, skip the poll or guess. If I missed something you do, you can complain at me.

A Serious Reminder

This is a bit more serious than my usual posts, but I wanted to share something that happened last night. While driving home, I saw a transformer blow about a mile and a half up the road. As I got closer, I was met with smoke everywhere. I immediately jumped out of my car to check the scene and call the authorities.

Luckily, there were no serious injuries, but it could have been much worse. Turns out, a young guy in his 20s—along with another possible passenger who fled the scene—was speeding while intoxicated. They clipped another vehicle, hopped the median, took out a power pole, and finally landed in a yard across the road.

The vehicle they clipped belonged to a widow in her 60s, whose car was badly damaged: broken taillight, bent mirror, blown tires, a bent wheel, and damage to the front fender. I made sure she got medical attention, arranged a tow for her car, and gave her a ride home. She’s safe, and I’m just grateful this didn’t turn out worse.

So here’s the takeaway: please, please, do not drink and drive. The potential for loss of life, injury, and financial strain just isn’t worth it. Stay safe and vigilant out there, everyone.

“Driving under the influence is a highway to detention, or ends in a death zone.”  ― Martin Uzochukwu Ugwu

Drunk driving is not cute. drunk driving is not fun. drunk driving is not cool. drunk driving is not "fine because I drive better under the influence." drunk driving is not "ok cause im right around the corner."

If you get into a vehicle behind the wheel in a state of intoxication, 1 or 100 drinks later, you are making the decision to potentially alter the lives of other and yourself. Not only are you opening up a potential for a number of fatalities but YOUR life is going to change. You will go to jail, you will have to live with the fact YOU are the cause of a life/lives being taken. If you make the choice to get behind the wheel in a state of intoxication you are just as bad (IN MY OPINION) as someone who makes a choice to walk into an educational building and open fire with a semi automatic weapon.

I personally have been in the car multiple times with an individual while they were under the influence, and every time I remember asking myself if I would make it home. We all think this is something that will never happen to us until it does. Until ONE choice changes multiple lives forever, PLEASE please do not drive regardless of your level of intoxication, it only takes one time for it to be THE time something happens. Please reach out and call someone or get an uber, even if you have to get someone to order it for you. I would personally like to see someone get home alive and safe and owe me a few bucks for an uber than to put everyone else in danger because you are selfish.

DRUNK DRIVING IS A SELFISH CHOICE. In this case the selfish decision to drive intoxicated has cost a mother, father, and sister to loose and mourn the death of their sons & brothers. A selfish decision to drive intoxicated has cost two children under the age of 3 to loose and mourn the loss of their father. A selfish decision to drive intoxicated has cost a wife to loose and mourn her husband, partner in life, and best friend. A selfish decision to drive intoxicated has left thousands of people around the world to loose and mourn two idols. A selfish decision to drive intoxicated now sees this fairly young man to spend probably the rest of his life in jail on two counts of homicide by vehicle, not to mention if he does get out how hard his life will be.

This decision by this man Sean Higgins did not only affect 3 lives that night, but rocked an entire nation. Sit with that for a while the next time you think you're being cool on a night out with your buds.

It's been 14 years, now...Wow....

Story time! For those who are not aware of what went down in my life 10 years ago, and even for those who were,

Here's the story:

10 years ago I was a divorced Mama, renting a room in a house with two other women, trying to juggle work and motherhood and I was pretty miserable.

I had just broken up with a guy who turned out to be a severe alcoholic. (Oh, the irony.)

I had spent the evening before hanging out with one of my best friends, laughing at the silliest things until my stomach hurt. I felt pretty good that night. I didn't get home until about 2 a.m. and I had work the next morning.

That same night someone else was up all night, not having nearly as much fun. She and her boyfriend were up all night fighting, and drinking.

At 7 a.m. I managed to get myself up and out the door. I was tired, but still happy.

The other woman would be leaving her boyfriend's house soon. Drunk, and not happy at all. She would have a bottle of wine with her.

My memories of what happened next shatter into bits and pieces.

I can remember voices, talking, being on the side of the road, arguing with the first responders about whether I was wearing a seatbelt or not. Yelling at the same first responders to call Lowe's and tell them I was going to be a little late.

I don't remember much for a while. Totally missed the helicopter ride to Christiana.

I digress. What I forgot was the part where that other woman and I met, in the middle of the road, head on.

The impact spun my van around and caused it to flip. I was partially ejected from the passenger side, partially in a ditch with the top of the passenger side on my chest.

There was a farmer who heard the collision and my screams. (I don't remember screaming, but given the situation it seems to have been an appropriate response.

He called 911 and held the van up off of me until they got there. (I would meet him a little over a year later in better circumstances.)

The time after that is kind of a blur. 3 weeks in the hospital getting pieced back together. My ankle was crushed and some of the bones decided to check out the world outside of the flesh.

My father and Step Mom came up from North Carolina and immediately jumped into cleaning up all of my loose ends and figuring out how to help me piece my life back together.

There are two metal plates and some screws in my leg, they became the plates and screws for the rest of me. I'll be eternally grateful for that.

I'll also always be grateful to my cousins who drove over as soon as they heard so the first people I could see after surgery were family. That still resounds with me, and remains an important memory in the fog.

It took 10 long months, moving to North Carolina, leaving my son here, almost losing my leg to infection, a lot of tears, a lot of laughter, and so much patience and determination.

I look back and can mark the changes in my life since then. The full extent of my injuries wouldn't be discovered for a few years. Hello head injuries and brain damage!

Yeah, I've been through a lot. Some days I struggle more than others, but I survived, and I am thriving. Although some days I can't see it, and depression doesn't just go away after you survive something like that, no matter what the movies show, but the good days outnumber the bad, and overall, I am happy, and I love my life. I'm grateful for it, and I'm grateful for the people sharing it with me. ❤
