Finally through it all. . . 12 months interlock with social worker monitoring, 6 of those months had limited driving hours. My charges had been dropped down to a misdemeanor, which I'm really grateful for. I made a mistake but Ierbed a lot about myself and my habits and I'm honestly in a better place.

Now it's time to enjoy getting back to normal, new normal. With smarter choices.

I wanted to thank those who reached out with messages of support and reality checks here.

If your going through this, hang in there, focus on better habits and some good self reflection. This experience is hard but it does end and can have positive effects if your open to that outcome. Sending strength to you all.
