As the former wife of an addict, I agree. Of course it's possible he is abusive or something, but I didn't sense that kind of fear from her. It's telling that she refused to call *anyone* in her life (not just husband), even under threat of being arrested. The people close to her have probably had enough of the lies and worrying about her, and her husband will be stuck sharing the fallout of her arrest, job loss, and ruined career. She was trying to delay facing any of that for as long as she possibly could. Maybe this will finally be her rock bottom.

[@BionicBear88]

They honestly should have intervened sooner though. If the time stamps on the video are correct, they were questioning her at the very end of the school day. If she had taken anti anxiety medication and was drinking throughout the entire day, there's no way that nobody noticed until the end of the day. The kids, a teaching assistant, a coworker, someone would have noticed she was acting funny and smelled like a winery. Yes, they did the right thing by confronting her, keeping her from driving home, firing her, and charging her with public intoxication. But they really could have and should have done more. They should have intervened sooner. Allowing her to continue supervising an entire class of 3rd graders while she was clearly under the influence is crazy and frankly extremely dangerous. She should have been charged with child endangerment for every student in her class. She also should have been charged for tampering with evidence for trying to wipe out the residue from her wine cup when the men left the room for a moment. Yes, she deserves sympathy for struggling with addiction, but she also really needs to be held accountable for making the decision to knowingly endanger other people children. I feel like the high ups in this school did a good job once they took action, but I just wish they has done so much sooner. 🫤🤷‍♀️

The most shocking thing to me was how strongly she fought to keep her husband out of this, and refuse to contact him.

Driving drunk is bad, most people are on their phone, that's bad. Alot of people just can't drive, that's bad. Everyone is drunk!

[@EphemeralBalconist]

I was sacked from more than 1 job for being drunk at work. This breaks my heart. I got help and am 14 years sober and working once again. Help is out there but you have to ask for it.

[@lifeisart2340]

I felt ashamed of myself as i was watching this. It is a moment that feels like it shouldn't be given up for public viewing. That said the officer and principal would have been irresponsible to let it go. She was risking her life and everyone in her path as she was driving and working under the influence. I hope she moves past the shame she feels and finds help , nobody's perfect. We all have something we don't want others to know.

[@kdizzle901]

As an addict myself she made it more humiliating than it had to be

[@tommyron]

@@kdizzle901 I wondered about that. It seemed that way to me too. They offered her a very reasonable and relatively painless way to get through that particular phase of what will certainly be a drawn out and deeply demoralizing situation. Do you think she was impaired to the extent that she just wasn't hearing it, or were the stumbling, half-formed lies something that actually sounded reasonable to her in the moment? All very speculative, I know, but it's the aspect of this footage that really grabbed me.

[@lifeisart2340]

she couldn't admit it. do you think it's been happening for years? the teachers might have noticed signs on other days prior?

[@rhino202]

She should have admitted early on and asked for help. Might have kept her job that way. I'd say this has been an ongoing issue and she was trying to slide through without anyone outside the room finding out

[@cyemonkey1828]

"I drank on the way to work" was the dumbest thing she could had said. She thought that because she wasn't drinking at school it would save her job but now she just admitted to DUI.

[@ChillHills]

I think she was afraid of losing her job so she thought it would have been best to say she wasn’t even on campus. I’m only 8 minutes in so I hopefully it’s more clear. But if you have to come into your job drunk you need to reevaluate things.

[@anabsanchez14]

[@uui219]

A WEEK AGO. It gives a weird feeling to know that we are watching this almost instantaneously. In this moment, she is probably still coming to terms with the fact that this really happened. She and her family are just beginning to address the fallout of this. It's that fresh.

[@SavageSalad69]

Hopefully this experience teaches her an important life lesson that there is a time and place for alcohol, and that time and place is not when you have to drive to school and teach young children. Unfortunately she seems too far in the trenches to be able to use alcohol responsibly so quitting is the only option. Going to need to replace the alcohol with a better therapist

[@Macdiz]

It’s sad that is the reality. What a shame this stuff is put online for everyone to see so early in her process since that might make it harder for her to deal with and get sober. All for clicks 😢

[@derek_niggo]

she can't even make a simple decision. if I was in her shoes, i would call someone to pick me up and resigned the job, instead going to jail.

[@Betrayedthelaw]

would have called my wife. she would pick me up. I would also be honest to her about what happened. Its obvious her life and relationships are NOT in order.

[@totukimou]

Obviously she doesn't want to confront her husband, but she made it worse, because now her husband has to take her out of jail....

[@bonchiengooddog-ca]

@@derek_niggo no you wouldn't have. A person as intoxicated as she was wouldn't be able to make logical decisions or think clearly. It's easy for you to act like you would have done differently because you are watching it happen to someone else, you know the outcome beforehand, and you're not intoxicated.

[@TheStigu]

I went through the same scenario. I was at work and blew almost as much as she did. That was in a way the start of a process that got me where I am today. At six years sober. Living a different life. At the time that it happened I thought it was the worst thing that happened to me. Now I think it was the best thing that happened to me. I hope she gets the help she needs.

[@stevekocinski383]

Agreed! Being at “ rock bottom “ is the worst helpless feeling there is. I’ve been recovering for quite a long time now. This video brings me back to the exact day of my last drink. It terrifies me to this day. I hope she finds the gift of sobriety and finds what I was so graciously given. I’ll pray for her.

I'm glad you told us about what happened to you. I'm glad that you have managed to stay sober for 6 years now. I don't defend her actions, like drinking at work, specially not at a school. At the same time I also hope this woman gets help for her alcohol addiction.

[@Muziq1111]

It's fortunate that her colleagues noticed and was able to keep the kids from spending the day with her like that. My heart goes out to her and I hope she's getting the help she needs.

[@addisonworley8579]

Unfortunately, this video takes place around 3:30pm-4:00pm. So it was towards the end of the school day when they pulled her into that room. I only noticed that when she made the claim that she last drank at 3:00am, which I was questioning the possibility of that having any effect on a breathalyzer test 5-6 hours later. Then I looked at the time stamp and saw how late in the day it was. She was at school all day and blew ~.24 BAC at the end of the day. That’s why everyone in the room, including the accused, is basically 100% confident that she has been drinking throughout the school day.

[@joshjje]

@@addisonworley8579 Alcohol stays in your system much longer than 5-6 hours. I don't doubt this lady was day drinking, my opinion, but it is really plausible.

She drove drunk to school, she could have hit someone along the way, or hit one of the kids in the parking lot at school. Her alcohol level is VERY high. I doubt it is only wine she is drinking.

Huh? The children were with her ALL day (she still had wine at her desk)…that’s how her drunken (& drugged) behavior was finally outed.

This might have saved her life. So many go through hiding addicts addiction noth thinking it makes then enablers. An enabler is not any better. Her husband had to know. He was at least an enabler.

[@NoWaySmokey8889]

Likely because she has no future now. She’ll never work in education again. She is better off applying for disability as an alcoholic. her entire life is over. There is no future for her. So she tried to bargain to not lose her future

Pretty sure she was more afraid of her husband’s reaction than losing her job. That’s the vibe I was getting. But regardless she certainly should have just been honest with it all.
