Getting Your License Back After a DUI

Eventually everything will be allright; it’s just a Major bump in the road. No one should lose their job; it’s just a misdemeanor, that is, depending on what type of job you have. It shouldn’t go on your credit report but a criminal background check will show it. After a set number of years (depending on your state) you should be able to get it expunged - as if it never happened in the first place. However, there is a stigma attached to being a DUI person, especially if you’ve had more than one DUI. Most people understand one because a lot of people have done it, and the person judging you probably deserved one at one time or another, as well. Nevertheless, once you have the second, you will be considered an alcoholic and that should not be taken lightly. There is a way to get past that stigma.  By then you either regularly attend or have been required to join AA and stop drinking altogether. Next, in any job interview, or if it comes up at your existing job, be open and tell about it.  You may want to mention that you are now in AA and that you stopped drinking. This will change the vibe of the conversation, but it will also show that you aren’t hiding anything and that you took steps to fix your life.
