Robert D. Paulbeck:
Require swift and sure action resulting in severe consequences for drunk drivers. Driving or “Operating While Intoxicated (OWI)”, alcohol or other drugs, or with a bodily alcohol content of .08 or more is illegal. Drivers with a bodily alcohol content of .08 or more are presumed to be under the influence. Driving “Operating While Visibly Impaired (OVI)” prohibits a person form operating a motor vehicle if his or her ability is visibly impaired because of consumption of alcoholic liquor, a controlled substance or both. A person who is “Operating While Visibly Impaired” would have a bodily alcohol content of more than .02, but less than .08. It is illegal for drivers under age 21 to operate a vehicle if they have any bodily alcohol content or “Zero Tolerance.” In Michigan, it is also illegal for people under the legal drinking age of 21 to buy, possess, consume, or transport alcoholic beverages.
Alcohol Anonymous' Twelve Steps
1. “We admitted we were powerless over alcohol-that our lives had become unmanageable.”
2. “Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.”
3. “Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of
God as we understood Him.”
4. “Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
”
5. “Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.”
6. “We’re entirely ready to have God remove all of these defects of character.”
7. “Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.”
8. “Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.”
9. “Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to
do so would injure them or others.”
10. “Continued to take personal inventory and, when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.”
11. “Sought, through prayer and meditation, to improve our conscious
contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of
His will for us and the power to carry that out.”
12. “Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we
tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these
principles in all of our affairs.”
