My name's Greg. As you clearly know, you've got all my information in front of you. I'm here 'cause I've. Gotten another DUI. My 3rd in fact. Before you jump to any conclusions about me, I want at least be clear about something not an alcoholic. Granted, I got a DUI, but I'm gonna tell you something. It was 230 at night, you know? But nobody's out on the road at 2:30 at night. And I mean, honestly, I wasn't even pulled over for my drinking. I had a tail light that was busted. Can you believe that? A broken tail light? Guy came over. I'm sure he ran my records. Already had some assumptions about me. Heck, I bet if I were a woman. If I drove a nicer car, I wouldn't. Be here today. Anyways. So here I am. There you are. You're going to talk with me about my disease. You're gonna talk with me about. Even to be sober. I mean, I'm going to tell you right now that they. Been there. I've done that. I mean, this program isn't for me. I'm not taking one step. I'm not taking 12 steps. At this point. I mean, my biggest concern is my job. I mean my boss. I mean, he's already gone out on a limb for me. And he knew about my other DUI. He said everybody's worth a chance. Only hope that. He's still he still thinks that way. I mean, without this job, I mean, I don't know what I would have. I mean I've worked hard to get here. I'm a good salesman. And if I lost this job, I wouldn't have my I couldn't pay my child support. I wouldn't see my kid. I don't think I could. I don't think I could live with that kind of disappointment again. It's such a joke. I mean, what's one thing I have to do with another? I had a couple of drinks, you know? I mean, I know that the police officer couldn't tell. The only reason he knew is, 'cause he had one of those breath detector things. And nothing you're gonna do will change my mind. Just a few drinks. I think I've earned it. I mean, I'll do and say whatever you need me to say, and I know I'll be outta here.
