Dude is feeling like life is bleak as fuck. It physically hurts my heart to think about him feeling like this.
Yep, I told him that is a horrible idea. He has about a year and a bit of shittiness ahead of him, and then it will get exponentially better once that time period is over with.
What actually happened was he drove the truck to a bar, or a party or something, I don't know the exact details of where he was. Anyways, he slept in the truck, cops found him passed out in the driver seat, woke him up, breathalyzed him and charged him. Not even like he was actually operating the vehicle, but care and control laws and such.
I'm urging him to get to an AA meeting, since he legitimately has a problem with alcohol, and to a lesser extent, narcotics. He polishes off five or six 26'ers per week.
The biggest issue though for him is that he told me he hasn't left his apartment for two weeks, so he has no body around for him. I hate to see him beating himself up for what ultimately comes up to a lapse in judgement that cost him SO god damned much. It's crazy to think that he actually did the responsible (well, responsible compared to other outcomes) and he ends up in this situation.

Has he hired a lawyer?
It's more expensive on the front end, but cheaper/worth it long term, especially in odd situations like this.
In some places, it's about where the keys are (Within reach, IIRC in MS, where I used to live). A decent lawyer could do some work with that...
