well, i didn't actually see him/her, for you see, we were both in our vehicles... on the interstate... and they were drunk. i was of a mixed mind on to call the cops on him(assuming), until he almost sideswiped another vehicle, and then i got 911 on the horn, and they asked me to tail him with my blinkers on since i had already said that i was following him... so for 4 miles he nearly hit 4 cars, almost went into an embankment, and twice went into the gravel on the left side... and it wasn't even 6 pm
That is where this disease takes you... if you are lucky... because he didn't kill anyone by the time the police caught up...
please add this drunk to your prayers, and hope that he can get the message.

Bless your heart for doing that. It amazes me to see people swerving into other lanes while driving 65 mph at 3 in the afternoon or 11 in the morning for that matter. Had you not followed he may well have killed himself or another. Hopefully the holidays do not bring more of this on - but they will. If ony people knew that driving drunk kills.

Good for you Jimmy, next time don't hesitate. People get killed by drunks every day, often repeat offenders who keep getting another chance. I'll say a prayer for our 'colleague' and hope he finds the rooms of AA b4 anything bad happens.

Thank you for getting one more drunk off the road. You can see the pictures on my profile of what a drunk driver can do.

Well I'm sure its not Jimmy who is the one that has been drinking.......but I'm not real sure about you 4castsnow - you're not making a lot of sense. Jimmy has a good handle on life and does not report nonsense.

baugh, there are plenty of drunks that choose not to get totally waisted and take to the road. i love the steriotype of every alcoholic being an absolute menace to society. shame on you all who believe that. i may get faced, but its in my home and the only person i endanger might be myself, but it really isnt because im not stupid enough when i drink to do something like that.

you know what forget it, where are they selling the torches at, i wanna join the lynch mob. lets get em all. hell after we get em all you can all lynch me. this is supposed to be a place of tollerance and understanding. were all here for help right. so why is an "official" posting here looking for kudo's.

there are plenty of idiots out there some of them are alcoholics, good job, you got one of em. gimme a break

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
