I was facing jail time earlier this year as I got my 3rd DUI and crashed my car. What I did was show that I'm no longer drinking with an alcohol monitor around my ankle and took the report to my court date along with the monitor still around my ankle. I also took a report of alcohol meetings. Seeing that I was trying to better my life I was given many days of community service which ill take any day over jail or prison. Show the judge you're turning your life around. But actually do it. Sobriety is wonderful.
