Whatever your New Year’s Resolution is this year, you will probably need constant encouragement and reminders to help you stay focused on the behavior that will allow you to be successful. If you are aiming to keep out of jail in 2023, A-EZ Out Bail Bonds can help you stay focused on what you’re hoping to achieve. As the year gets started, you might be feeling confident in your resolution. However, that can get harder as the months go by! Check out some of these tips to help you stay out of jail this year.
Out For a Drink? ALWAYS Have a Ride
Whether you’re meeting with coworkers after work, having a birthday dinner with friends, or catching a football game at a sports bar, you should always have a contingency plan for getting home. Don’t assume you’ll be “alright to drive.” Plan to take an Uber home, or catch a ride with a designated driver, but don’t risk getting caught driving under the influence of anything.
Make Some New Friends
If you’ve had a history of bad behavior with the group of friends that you currently hang out with, it might be time to start spending your time with someone new. Finding some good influences to surround yourself with will make all the difference when it comes to making better decisions. You may not need to completely cut old friends out of your life, as long as you can trust them to steer clear of criminal activity. However, finding positive influences to spend time with- especially on the weekends when late nights can lead to lapses in judgment- might save you from being in any difficult situations.
Keep Alcohol at Arm’s Length
Alcohol rarely improves a situation or people’s behavior. If you already know you have a problem with regulating your behavior when you’ve had a few drinks, it’s best to stay as far away from the substance as possible. Avoid bars, house parties, and other situations that have few activities to offer besides drinking. Staying away from drunken decisions might mean the difference between getting arrested and staying out of jail!
Break Your Resolution? Don’t Give Up!
Making a New Year’s Resolution can sound easy at first, but as the months go by, you might start to struggle with at least one aspect of it. Over the next several months, you will have a lot of decisions to make that can impact your ability to stay out of jail this year. If you catch yourself in a few bad situations or making a wrong call, don’t spiral! You can always course-correct, even if that means starting from square one. If it keeps you out of jail, it’s completely worth it to backtrack and start over!
