I think I am confused by what you are saying because you can go to jail instead of treatment so why not go get locked up, is that what you are saying?
You are being forced into treatment (or jail) by the legal system. An interesting fact is that the recovery rates of people who self-report and who are forced in are very similar. You have as good of chance as any of us. Good luck. I know what it is like to be on the fence. Reading around here and going to some AA meetings might take you off the fence in one direction or the other. I am guessing it will not be the jail direction.
