I have a friend whose brother is a serious alcoholic. He's been arrested, ticketed, and sent to court literally dozens of times. He's had his license taken away in at least four states. In the last four years, he's had at least ten DWI tickets, caused several minor accidents, lost his car at least three times (and I mean "Lost" as in "Gee, I wonder where I left it last night?"). At one point he had THREE pending court-dates for DWI's. Yet the judges keep giving him "one more chance".
Each time, his family PRAYS that this time he'll go to prison. They've done everything they can, and he won't stop. Horrible as it sounds, I completely agree with his sister when she says "one of these days he's going to cause a serious accident, and someone is going to get killed. I just pray that when it happens, it's HIM, not some innocent kid."
