I totally identify with this. I am probably not facing jail time but I have some legal repercussions coming my way and I just have to accept it, I never could have faced this before I got sober. Whatever happens I know I need to stay on track to get my life in order. Acceptance feels surprisingly good.
I'm also from CT! I love Mindfulness and the 12-Steps too.
