I’ve been sober for >7 months. My DUI is a wobbler. So I might be facing jail/house arrest. Right now I’m on the Scram. I’m worried about losing my job (which I love) and disappointing my coworkers.
I also am worried about how dating works during and after this ordeal. How do I tell people? If I lose my job, what can I bring to the table?
True friends won't walk away and they won't give you a way out. They will stand beside you all the way. For dating, need to slow way down, get your act together, keep it together, and always be honest.

You should be able to keep your job. Alcoholism and Substance Abuse is classified as a disease now. Employers have to honor a "medical leave of absence" if its related to improvement of your health or situation. Ask your HR lead ASAP

I’m afraid to get it started now because I don’t want to be terminated pre-maturely. Court still hasn’t had a verdict yet so I don’t know what’s going to happen.
If you’re working on recovery I wouldn’t worry about a relationship quite yet. Good chance it’ll end in disaster. Work on yourself.
I’m in the same boat at work. I’m just praying about it trying to get myself better.
