Worried About Nothing? Not Exactly...

So, after all my worries about today's Chemical and Alcohol Assessment thingy, I don't think it's turned out as bad as I thought...

Having not been able to sleep much at all last night and not eating this morning (nerves? I would most definitly say so...), I proceeded down to St Paul to find out what lay in store for me.

Turns out no, I didn't have a full spych eval, but I did have to fill out a 123 question survey/questionnaire about my alcohol/drug use and driving habits. Should have been pretty easy to get through but it was one of those buggers with all the trick questions. One of those ones that, when you hand it back in, you automatically start thinking "WTF did I just answer???"

Alright. So, no AA, 12 step programs and all that, but I have to attend a MADD presentation where, for two hours, a bunch of mothers will tell us all about how people like us are complete douchebags and willingly/knowingly fuck up other people's lives.

Following that we have a 12 week course on Monday nights about alcohol and societal values and attitudes etc etc etc. The jury's still out about that, but seeing as it costs an additional $455.00 and invloves 12 two-hour sessions, I am just a little annoyed about that.

I guess I am just jaded. But, I suppose that's they way you are supposed to feel. Even though DUI's have the highest rate of recidivism (at about 40% repeat offenders) I pray that I have the strength of character to never, ever, go down this road again.
