Please feel free to look at some of my earlier posts for an understanding of what you need to do to get your driving privileges back. The licensed alcohol and drug counselors (LADCs) who determine whether or not you deserve this believe the standard AA religious pseudo-science:
- you have a disease called "alcoholism"
- the cure is to admit this and ask for God's help ("hit your knees")
- this cure requires nothing less than the complete abstention from alcohol
This is what places like Amethyst Foundation, Inc., and those that work in the recovery industry, want from you. We all know how deluded this is. The crime for what you've been arrested is for driving while impaired, not being impaired. It is not against the law to consume alcohol.
Go along with this charade and do your best job at acting to make them believe you. Do not show any sign of "willfulness," intelligence, or independent thought. AA is a cult, and these AA-trained LADCs want mindless, subservient, stupid followers to recruit. Pretend that you are one of the "pigeons" they want.
Otherwise, they will punish you by assigning perpetual, expensive "aftercare," and, perhaps like me, an attempt to permanently revoke your driving privileges (despite it having been only a 1st Offense DWI).Be very careful until you get your license back. Good luck.
