A little over a year ago, I was arrested for driving drunk. Not only was I drunk, but I hit another vehicle, left the scene, and fled from the cops. I've been sober since then, but today I have to go to court for sentencing. I'm nervous as hell, can't eat anything, been chain-smoking cigarettes all morning, and generally just a wreck. I know that I have to take responsibility for my actions, and that I still have a long road ahead of me until this is all behind me. That being said, I'm in a much better place today as a result of this whole incident. Mentally and physically, I'm healthier. I have a great support network in place and I've manage to stay sober longer than in any of my previous attempts to stop drinking. Any positive vibes, prayers, magic spells, incantations, or well-wishes would be appreciated.

I'm a nervous mess, but regardless of the outcome in court, I'm not going to drink today.

UPDATE My attorney got a call from the prosecutor late yesterday offering a plea deal. I go back in three weeks to accept or reject the deal and have my sentencing then.

Thank you all for your encouragement and positive vibes. It's greatly appreciated.
