sentenced on October 18th
Yeah, 2nd that... go to AA meetings, sit and listen. If you do get sentenced, hopefully go to AA prison meetings.
May just work in your favor, BUT, be honest about it, not just for the brownie points or "look at me I'm goody-2-shoes I go to AA".They will know anyway if you are genuine or not.
But give it a honest go. It may be last card in the deck and if ya honest it may well turn out to be the Ace!
