legal advice from an attorney is certainly good advice.
BUT - if any attorney suggests you avoid taking steps in your recovery because of legal concerns..... FIRE THAT ATTORNEY IMMEDIATELY.
People go to AA, SMART recovery, rehab, get DUIs, etc.... ALL. THE. TIME. and their attorneys help them navigate these things without losing custody or getting looked down upon by judges.
If an attorney suggests you should try to counter concerns about your alcohol problems coming to light by NOT seeking help for them - then that attorney is not serving your child's interest or yours.
