I will miss my walking, but then I live in a beautiful place by the sea, so there’s always motivation to get out. Personally? I told everyone, I had the mindset that if they didn’t like it they could lump it. Yes, a bit arrogant maybe, but I knew what I’d done. I faced my peers in court and was judged. I have no time for Facebook magistrates. So I just cracked on.
I reckon everyone on this forum does go through the embarrassment emotions of what third parties think about you. You do become a little paranoid that everyone is talking about you and you begin to think you are public enemy number one.
The reality is, no one actually cares less about the DD conviction and as time moves on, it becomes less and less of an issue. The keyboard warriors who blast drink drivers are generally the idiots who spend half their lives sitting in judgement of others just to enlighten their sad little lives.
There are of course families who have lost loves ones through drink driving who have every right to voice their opinion. But the chances of any of us on this forum crossing paths with one of these people is very rare.
I just don't discuss my past mistakes publicly anymore outside this forum and for that I am grateful that no-one can judge me anymore.
