What was I thinking?

Hi, i've got court in 10 days, I was arrested and charged for dd on the 23/6/10. After a arguement with my partner I stupidly jumped in the car 2 get away, I didn't want 2 continue arguing in front of our children, so thinking of them I just jumped in the car and left 2 clear my head. I Now wish I had thought of them a bit more as I would of never got in the car. I had been drinking earlier in the day, and had eaten and a few hours had passed since my last drink. I wasn't thinking straight, and thought with the food and the time I would b within the limit. I felt fine 2 drive. I lost control of my car on a quiet country road, wrote it off, the police turned up and the rest is... My reading was 72. I cooperated fully with the police, didn't flee the scene which I easily could of, there were no witnesses. But I stayed at the scene, put the hazards on in the car, and was directing oncoming traffic around the car. It was posing a serious threat as it was round a bend. Im gettin really anxious now as to what the outcome will be in court. I have done wrong and deserted to be punished, I am fully aware of that. I just dont want my children being punished 4 my mistakes, as I have said I am well aware that I should me thought of that before I got in the car. Is there anything I can say/pay to keep the ban 2 a minimum? I would gladly pay triple the fine 2 get a 12 month ban. Will dressing smartly really help, is it worth writing a letter to the mags? I will do anything I can 2 keep it 2 the minimum. I know I dont deserve any help, but I am trully sorry for what i've done, i've been punishing myself since it happened, I keep replaying it over in my head, and know that it could of been such worse. Any advice would b gladly accepted. Thanks.
