I got a non alcholol involved DUI back in November of last year,pulled a Tiger Woods before it became popular lol,but it can't be funny no matter how it's expressed,just stupid.Driving on anti anxiety meds,Xanax to be precise,no excuse.2 months in jail because I couldn't get a bail which is a whole different story,really stupid.No trouble at all for over 35 years,not even a misdeamenor goof off.I'm eleigible to get my license back finally,my 6 month conviction was Jan 3rd.Insurance companies are giving me fuckin nightmares.2000 bucks non-refundable for 6 months is about the best deal I can come up with right now.And I don't trust the insurance companies either which is about my worst heartache,fuck giving them a credit card number for a thousand plus just makes me paranoid as fuck.I did it today with dairyland insurance,I just don't trust anyone or anything.And that's just to insure my license,I still have to get a vehicle and when I go to get that,my insurance premium will surely rise when I go to insure a vehicle.I did every single thing I needed to do from community service to dui class and a basic driver instruction course to MADD which will have you feeling guilty as fuck if you have any heart at all..fuck it's been a lot really and I deserved all of it.I'm no kid just a stupid fuckin older guy.God I hope I can get through all this shit and just get my license back now that I've complied to every little thing I don't have a good feeling for one reason or another.I should be celebrating lol..anyone else deal with the SR22 or FR44 insurance debacle?

Props for owning it and not making excuses. Having a clean record though, seems like they really threw the book at you? Or maybe DUI laws are different when it comes to pharmaceuticals?
I see first time DUI's getting off with 40 somethings days loss of license around here and maybe a drunk driving class. Good luck on getting your license back. I was without wheels for a few months this winter and it felt so good to get back behind the wheel.

Sorry to hear about this. Really harsh and stupid. If you are in Florida, that's one of the worst places for things like this. Xanax, really, it's not even all that intoxicating.
The situation is a pure example of how I've watched the country go downhill in my lifetime. When I was a kid, there was no mandatory insurance. When the country was a kid, you did not have to ask permission ("license") to travel on a public roadway. This is more like a totalitarian regime. I could understand punishing a person when they damage life or property, but you know, I look at it this way...I can drink a six pack and smoke a couple doobs and *still* be in a better condition than a lot of people at their sober best. So it's insane. Active jail time because you what...I don't even see a reason.
Nor do I have a clue about how to restore your life from the iron boot that's already trampled it and will continue to do so for quite some time.

my 4th & final DWI was in '81, my license was revoked & I was stuck on probation for a full 5 years, my p.o. (liberal Italian guy) & I got friendly over time and he told me that he didn't care that I got stoned or drank, as long as I didn't drive
he often recommended clubs & cafes down in the village that I'd enjoy, trendy spots, good food, etc... I decided long ago to not get DWI'd again, drove stoned but never drunk and was passed through many DWI checkpoints in the years since. easy to pass w/a cannabis buzz.
sorry for your hardships in reentering the insured world again Floridian.
