Today’s episode is one that I knew that we would record at some point, but I wasn’t sure when we’d be ready to do so. It’s not a story that we necessarily were excited to tell and certainly one Leslie and I wish didn’t happen, but in this episode of Unemployed AF Dad we revisit a night in September of 2015 when I was arrested for drunk driving. It was an all-time low moment in my life and a really difficult thing for Leslie and I to navigate through. There were some dark moments immediately following my DUI. The legal implications of that night, the financial impact, losing my license, being dropped by our insurance company, etc. were all things that were as a result of this one decision I made. But the aftermath of how this decision affected my relationship with my wife and our family was something we dealt with for years. But this isn’t just the story of a DUI. This is also a story of how Leslie and I overcame one of the most difficult situations we had ever been faced with as a married couple. It’s a story that teaches that you can’t let your mistakes define who you are and one about forgiving yourself and learning to love yourself again because your life and happiness are worth fighting for. And finally, that the only person who can change you, is yourself. But also how having people in your life who love you and are there for you in your darkest moments, are invaluable. While this is a heavy episode, we hope that if you are dealing with a difficult situation in your life, no matter what it is, that this story inspires you, encourages you, and that you persevere knowing that better days are ahead. Often the hardest person to forgive is yourself. Once you do that, then put in the work and love yourself! You are worth it!
