Hi MM,
I'm glad you logged on and posted today, and I am glad you have a friend you were able to reach out to. I am sorry about the DUI, but glad you didnt hurt yourself or someone else. As hard as it seems this is the perfect time to consider intensive outpatient if you are unable to take off for rehab. It will help you get sober, develop a plan to stay sober, and also show the courts that you are actively addressing your issue with alcohol.
I am sure today things seem pretty overwhelming, just remember that alcohol will only make things worse. The issues will still be there when you sober up, and you will then be dealing with them hungover.
You can do this.
