I recently found out that my time in DUI school is almost up.  I have officially become a short timer and will have more on getting my license back when that happens.  People shared a couple of interesting updates.  The lady who had given up drinking completely decided that was not the path for her and after a few weeks decided to start drinking again but only in moderation.  Probably a more reasonable path to follow and she seems happy with the results.  In addtion, one person who had been looking for a new job with her DUI (FYI she did not lose her last job becuase of the DUI but instead decided change careers) was able to get one and they were the type of company that does backgrounds checks so that is great news.

I heard a statement recently which was "Everyone who had gotten a DUI is an alcoholic" and did a bit of thinking about it.  In the end my thinking is that that statement is no more valid than saying that "You are not an alcoholic unless you have gotten a DUI."  There is no question that a DUI is a wakeup call to take an examination into your drinking habits but it does not mandate the answer.
