I've had personal experience with very young ladies being court-ordered to AA, and I can tell you all they did was get their papers signed and once the court deal was over, they disappeared from our meetings, out drinking again.
I offered to sponsor several of those ladies, and they weren't interested in anything more than "serving their time" in AA and appeasing the judge.
Hope is an emotion based on the potential outcome of future events, and I highly suspect your high hopes will be dashed.
I prefer to have faith rather than hope, faith that things are as they should be and that my HP is at work.
I held onto hope for far too long with my AD. No more.
Sending you hugs of support!
