Hi ohiogrown
Welcome to SR
A lot of us have done bad things. I think anyone who's willing to work hard to change their life - really work at it - not just paying lip service to it - deserves a shot at redemption.
I hope this can be a turning point for you.
Good luck in your journey.

hitting your rock bottom can be good. there's no where to go now but up.......
don't ever forget how you're feeling right now......so you'll remember you never want to feel like this again.
the great thing about life is we have another day to do better....I sometimes give up once a week - but I keep fighting and eventually I'll get to that light at the end of the tunnel! You will too!

Welcome,
Words and tears and expressions of remorse will not do a lot for you or for your girlfriend, nor will they particularly impress the court. Don't wait to see what will happen. TODAY find an AA meeting and GO. Are you DONE with drinking? Are you willing to go to any lengths? That's what "hitting bottom" means.
This can be a turning point for you, or it can be one more on a steady stream of progressively worse situations. Only you can decide which it will be.
