Facing DUI Arraignment today and terrified.
Hello everyone. I am new here and 33 days sober. I am finally reaching out because I was arrested for my 2nd DUI charge in 8 years and I'm heading to arraignment this morning. Though I did not hurt anyone or anything either time, the guilt and hopelessness I am feeling is overwhelming me. Both times I've been arrested for DUI were the results of binge drinking at happy hours. I have reached my rock bottom. I can't live this way anymore.
I decided to get back into therapy for issues unrelated to my alcoholism and am thinking about attending AA. My husband is being so supportive. I have to get better for him AND myself.
But right now I am so overwhelmed with the legal part of this. I know I need to be punished, but 3 months in jail will ruin us financially. Thanks for listening to me whine. I know I don't deserve sympathy for what I've done.
