Ashamed

by Charles Marin
(Sacramento, CA)

I drank five drinks one night and drove home. While at the bar, I ordered and ate food to cut down on the effect of the alcohol. I slept in my car for 30 minutes before leaving. But nevertheless, I didn't call my wife and have her come pick me up as I should have. I didn't even have the presence of mind to go back into the bar and ask to use the phone. I wasn't wasted drunk--I remember everything from that night, including how difficult it was to steer when I first started driving home. I AM COMPLETELY ASHAMED AND DISGUSTED WITH MYSELF FOR WHAT I DID BY DRIVING HOME. After reading all these testimonies, I sincerely ask your forgiveness for being so foolish and vow to never put myself in that position again. I promise that above all else.
