Second time Drink and drive, Driving while disqualified, and no insurance

[hiroshi]

Need some help. I got caught for drink drive, driving while disqualified and driving with no insurance.?
It was my second time within a year. I realize I have a problem and have made an appointment with my GP for some couseling and therapy. Has anyone been in this situation before? Will there be a custodial sentence with this or community service? I know I was stupid, and am taking steps to help me with this disease. Please advise and not lecture. Thanks.

I'm afraid this looks like custody, not community service. It's not so much the second drink-drive alone but the driving whilst disqualified coupled with it, in this case, that the courts hate to see. You do have my sympathy for the disease. I'm an alcoholic. However, though I did achieve two drink-drives in ten years, I never made the mistake of driving during either of the bans.In those days a second drink drive, if it had a high reading, could mean jail, and I knew that driving disqualified certainly did then. On the disease, you'll find AA helpful . If you don't like one meeting group, find another that you do like.AA has open meetings where anyone can attend.Ring them and ask.. Believe me, it's therapy in itself to find, for the first time, that you are not alone. Everyone always thinks they are the only one.In my London meetings there are 300 people,all just like us.Imagine ! And I've been sober for years.You can be.
