I used, drove my car with my kids in it. No one was ever hurt but it could have happened very easily.
However, I used, drank and left the gas on the stove on. The police came, I was passed out. I am now looking at going through theraputic court. I will plead no contest. It is only a misdemeanor. I suffer from a chronic pain condition and cannot take pain meds for it, so I suffer. I could suffer worse though. I could lose my kids, lose my marriage and lose my life, I'll take the pain for now.
Luckily I will not have to serve any time. You may want to ask for theraputic court. I don't know if they would allow it in your case, but it is worth a try.
My thoughts are with you during this time.
