Good morning Alaskcangal - I was worried about you.
Sorry to hear about the DUI from 1999 but the judge can only sentance you based on the law as it was written in 1999 not as it has been changed since then. Since you have taked positive steps to correct the drinking problem it is possible that any time given will be light or just probation. keep your hopes us and we will all be praying for you.
