It took me 6yrs to quit drinking, after I had lost my license...I've now been almost 5yrs.
I still do not agree with the DUI laws...and detest MAD, but if I hadn't lost my license...I'd probably still be drinkin.
I don't drink either, although I didn't have to put up with your punishment.
I just don't like getting caught up in the checkpoints, which are clearly designed to just get us used to the idea.
I quit drinking 4 years ago, and quit drinking and driving about 10 years before that. Never got a DWI before that, but that was just my good fortune.

Hear hear. I don't either. What's funny is both of us are reformed drinkers and almost perfectly fit the profile of someone who support MADD. But neither of us do.
My problem is that after doing a good job of getting seriously drunk drivers off the road, they didn't quit while they were ahead and instead went after anyone who drinks at all.
They are a lot like the post-1965 civil rights movement...ruined by success.
