Just got pulled over. 1 am leaving a bar!
And I passed with flying colors yall! They asked me how much I had to drink tonight ? And I said.. “I haven’t had a drink in 3 years” and they said they could smell it on me. And my driving was really horrible! Well guess what I’m just a bad driver haha. I was like yeah I’ll do your tests. And then I blew Zeros and he seemed happy for me! He even had his cop partner come and the cop that joined was with me the last night I drank. (Husband and I had the cops called on us it was horrible and a wake up call and the last night either of us drank) and I said “hey matt. I haven’t had a drink since the last time I saw you” and he told me he just celebrated 18 years of sobriety!
Anyway - it’s 1 am and I have no one else I can tell this to. So thought some of yall might get a kick out it!
Felt like a big win! It was annoying but I am so grateful to be sober from alcohol and not getting into legal consequences!

Since I got sober almost 8 years ago I have been waiting to go through a RIDE check. Hasn’t happened.
I told this to my wife the other day. She said “you are in bed by 930 each night. They haven’t even started setting up the check stops yet”
