Enter your message here. First of all, I am a human being, and ALL human beings make mistakes. I am an RN and have worked in ER and ICU for 17 years. I am a recovering alcoholic. I am a wonderful person but I have a horrible disease. A disease that, I believe, few non-alcoholics understand, esp. the judicial system..including police officers. Please don't attack and judge others regarding this disease for which you know little about. I have had several DWI's and only by the Grace of God I did not hurt anyone else or myself. Alcoholism and mental illness (depression & anxiety) is on the rise in this country and the judicial system needs to look at new ways to help these people which also helps our society and keeping others safe on the streets, etc... by getting help for those people with dwi's... losing jobs, licience, locked up in jail... what does that do??? It does not help the person afflicted with this disease nor does it help society as a whole. I have great respect for police officers and have worked with/know many through my career as an RN.... However, do not be ignorant or judge others when it comes to the disease of Alcoholism... I certainly was like this 5 yrs ago before I began drinking (left an abusive marriage and turned to alcohol)... When "drunks" came in the ER... I never wanted to take care of them and was full of judgements... I didn't understand the disease. Now I do whatever I can to help the still suffering alcoholic... it's a horrible way to live and it is a progressive and fatal disease that almost killed me. There are "open" AA meetings all over the metro... stop in sometime and check us out... we are great people but have an absolutely horrible disease.
