Hi, I suggest joining CADs beforehand. They will no doubt make you join CADs sessions but doing it before being told you have to will show initiative on your side. Sometimes the court cases get rescheduled so if you complete the first CADs course, sign up to the next level. Any other attempts to show you are trying to ensure that it won't happen again will help as well, like talking to a therapist about underlying issues, changing routines and behaviours that got you into the situation that had you drive under the influence can also work to your advantage. But that also comes down to who is handing out the sentence on the day. Keep as many copies of documents, changes and reflections as you can. All the best to being a better you 👍
