90 in 90 that means 90 meetings in ninety days! You’ll impress the judge if you start going to meetings before your court date. Ask the secretary to sign on any piece of paper that you were there (secretary of the meeting will definitely know what you’re talking about) and don’t drink between meetings. Get phone numbers from the guys there!
That’s a good start. If you have more questions please don’t hesitate to message me! I WAS a blackout drunk driver, repeat offender and in the end I just wanted to die by alcohol in that motel. It would look like an accident. Today TODAY I am one year sober and so happy. I remember how it felt to hit my bottom. I know how you feel after wrecking a car dui, especially the day after. I can give you lots of suggestions. You are loved. Keep reaching out. Keep coming back💜

Sorry jasmine I was looking at Brian Christopher’s name when I said to get guys numbers. You need women supporting you! Now I can really relate!!

If you’ve been drinking heavily regularly, work with a doctor / detox. Alcohol withdrawal is one of the few that can actually kil you.

Agree. Get w/ur Dr. Maybe rehab or Outpatient. Find AA mtg. Need to talk I’m available.

Hi Jasmine, I had the same exact thing recently…blacked out and wrecked my car. It was terrifying. So glad you’re okay. I did the virtual Intensive Outpatient Program from Betty Ford and have 43 days sober now. It’s online or you can go in person. Meetings are online too you can find one at any hour. Stay strong it gets better, you are not alone.

I don't know if this was said but talk to your doctor and make a plan and get sober in the safest way. Your doctor will have resources you do not and will help you get info on programs.
