I am not going to jail!!!

[loveandlight05]

I know this will be moved to social, but so many people on this forum have helped me, so I wanted you all to read this. Today at court, my attorney struck a deal with the prosecutor in which I will have 8 years of probation but will be able to get off in 3 years if I behave well, $1200 fine, 200 hours of community service, and, the big one, deferred adjudication. I will not have a misdemeanor or felony on my record!

I have been clean for 5 months. My therapy is going well. My children are happy, and they will not have to know a life with their mother in prison, which is all that matters! I could not be more grateful for the support I have received on this board. I have not posted much lately because it gets kicked to social, but I am still here lurking. And I love you all and care about you very much.

I believe I had a deal with DominoSarah: We were going to celebrate on MedHelp when this day came. It is here, and I could not be more relieved. I will ace this probation and get off in three year. I know I can. My attorney said most of his patients will use, hire him when they get arrested, and go right back to using. He is very proud of me for turning my life around as I have, and I suppose the prosecutor noticed as well.

I am just so relieved. Have a wonderful day everyone!

I haven't reported anything to my job yet because I don't know how I am supposed to say it. I have contacted my education attorney, and I am sure she will tell me what to say. I won't have a felony or misdemeanor, but I may have to say I took deferred which means I was not let out of my charges, so they still may let me go. Also, I have to make this official by having it read to me by a judge, so I don't want to say anything until next month when it is signed and sealed.

I feel like I just need to take this one step at a time. Whatever happens at school will be OK because I get to stay with my babies, and that is all that matters. My attorney said that he still doesn't get the prosecutor, and he basically thinks she is pretty mean, but he fought hard for me. He also said that he has a teacher in the exact same situation as me, and her school fired her. It is only by the grace of God that this has worked out this way. I prayed so hard, and I had faith that God would deliver my from my fears, and he did.

Rats! Moved to social. I hope others who have supported me get a chance to see this. Thank you all for your kind words. I am definitely making this second chance count. I promised myself every night that if given a second chance, I would not screw up again. Now, I have faced the only thing I have every done to break a law, and I can start over fresh.
