Does it make any difference when you are being sentenced for the offence that you are taking steps to change things? That you acknowledge your fault etc etc? Is there anythng else you can do meantime to improve your chances of getting a shorter term or smaller fine or whatever?
I don't know. Going to treatment should help. I have gone to psychiatric treatment for ten days and am going for 30 days of alcohol treatment. I can only trust that God knows best.
If you are going on an alcohol program, does that mean you've started drinking again, or what?
I did drink again. I am sober now and have no desire to drink. I was in a manic state and really lost control of everything in my life. I now know that like a diabetic controls their disease, there are things I can do to control mine. Taking my meds and not drinking, eating right and getting counseling are all key for me.
Are your family anywhere in the state? Do you have to stay living where you are now if your son isn't there? Can you take some time away with family or friends elsewhere?
I am pretty much alone. My family are all out of state except for one cousin that I love dearly, but can't stay with right now.
I guess it is just time right now for me to trust in God and learn to be alone.
Thanks for your support and for your concern... ...believe me it means a lot to me! Akgal
