Thanks for your post I can say that I went back to law school as a mature student here in Ireland, and did not even get me leaving cert. I left school at 16 without completing secondary school your equivalent to senior high and I quit drinking got various diplomas and applied for a place at university studying law not only did I get accepted, I studied hard stayed sober for 18 months and passed every single exam and a lot with top grades and I also meet some amazing people and some nice girls. So I would say go for the law school application and if you want it bad enough you will find a way but first things first you have to stay sober it must be your first priority without it I know I could not have got through law school,I have my BA in civil Law and am back at day 6 of no alcohol and am due to sit bar exam in 8 months but only if I can stay abstinent from alcohol.You can do it my friend we are all in this together "we can get by with a little help from our friends"
