I am going through a really tough time. I made a huge mistake in October and decided to get behind the wheel after too many drinks. I got pulled over and am now facing DUI charges.

This has been the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me. Shortly after this incident, I hit the absolute lowest point of my life. I was having extreme depression and anxiety. I cried to God for help, and he answered my prayers. I also found this forum for the first time, and several posts helped me to at least find some hope.

Before the incident, I was non-practicing and kind of just going through the motions. I was raised in a strict Catholic home, but decided that I had the world figured out and didn’t need God’s help. Since being hit by divine intervention in the shape of a Mack Truck, I have made a complete turnaround. I have been attending mass every Sunday, and when I can during the week and I go to confession every two weeks. I pray the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet everyday, and try to attend Adoration at least twice a week. I have also been meeting with my priest every month to discuss everything. I have finished several books about saints, conversion stories, and our faith, and have just today completed my consecration. This is truly been a blessing in disguise.

I am now at the point of no return with this case, I was offered a plea deal today and do not know whether or not to take it. I am being charged as a first time offender, but I live in a state that boasts the harshest penalties. There is a good chance that this is going to cost me my house and possibly my job. I know that I made a bad mistake, but this just seems cruel and unusual. I have been saying a prayer of thanksgiving everyday that I did not hurt anybody. I am praying that this is just a speed bump in my life and doesn’t cost me everything that I have worked for. God’s will be done, but pray that he takes it a little easy on this repentant sinner.

Please Pray for Me!!!

God Bless All of You!!!
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Hi Hookset, I’ve been through the DUI thing twice, so I feel your pain. It is a big setback as far as money is concerned, but it led you to God. It’s all good. You’re in my prayers.
 
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy Will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespassed against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
