I hope it turns out for the best, Warrior.
As far as talking to the judge on the sly, an ethical judge wouldn't do that.

In no way am I condoning DUI . But in many states the system does nothing but penalize the person for his action . It is set up to make the person guilty of DUI pay huge fines ,spent time in jail .pay large insurance premiums and attend classes to stop them from doing it again .If you look at the number of repeat offenders it is plain to see that method is not working I have seen repeat DU offenders simply drive without a license when they knew they where drunk . More penalties often put the person doing the crime is a position of drinking and driving more It is not something I have an answer to . But we as a society need to find a better way to deal with what is happening.It is a problem that is getting worse as it goes on

The key thing is the person has to want to stop.
I had a DUI back in June of 1995, but the following year it was like nothing ever happened, and for many years afterwards.
I got lucky - very very lucky - then one day i decided I did not want to go down that road anymore, and today - I can state that it's been years since I took the wheel with a drink in me. In fact, the stories I can tell scare me today and today I can't stand being around people who are either high or intoxicated....
But I made that choice, not some one else.
One day I just decided that it was no longer fun to go out and party, and part of the reason why I cooled it was a look my dog gave me when I was going to tie one on at home.
That was it.....
*And I never looked back.
PS: And remember - relapse is a part of recovery. Sometimes it is super difficult to walk away and know right from wrong..............
I know it was for me - a good twenty years elapsed before I finally figured it out - but I did, and thank God each day that I was able to on my own.

Well I lost the bet, she called. Pure defiance, not good. Now I got a decision to make. Dammed if I do dammed if I don't. Hang in there Brother, there's a lot of good people here who truly care about you and the situation which you are in.

Sitting here waiting on her one phone call. Bet her dam pride won't let her, we'll see.
she most likely had to blow in a breathalyzer upon arrival at jail, then placed in the drunk cell in booking. Generally they don't let you back out of cell Intel they think you can blow in the breathalyzer again and not have a reading of alcohol. Then they will realise her with a court date. She will probably call you to pick her up or she may call a cab and go to the bar ? I'm praying everything turns out for you and her . 1500 bond

Nothing like a night stay in jail to make a person realize it's time for a change in direction.

I don't envy you your decision. Very difficult not to be an enabler at times with someone you love.
Hang in there, Warrior.

Sheesh. 24 hours in the clink will not hurt. Go to bed, and deal with it in the morning, when she is sober!
Just doing what I want now.
