I had court hanging over my head when I first got sober. felony drug, dwi, bunch of lesser stuff as well. It took 4 months for the outcome which was about as good as i could have hoped for. No way the judge would have been that cool if I didn't show up with several months of sobriety.
It was a good introduction for me to learning how to live life on life's terms. I'm in a lot of trouble but how do I move on from here? I have no control over what kind of judge and prosecutor or what they might do even if I show up sober. I tried to just keep doing the next right thing. Just be grateful for what I have. God, nature, a great spirit, whatever anybody calls it. Something other then me is in control of the World happening around me. I let go and learned to stay in the present instead of that constant regret of the past and fear of the future.
