I gave up drinking over a year and a half ago and have been attending AA as I desperately don't want to end up like Dad.
Last night I fell of the wagon after getting upset about my Dad in intensive care. I then had a row with the missus who stormed off with our kids. I then panicked and about 30 mins later went to look for her - massive mistake.
Turns out a family member had already called the police who got me about 200yards from my front door. I blew 74 and was then taken to the station for the night.
I am desperately worried now about what may happen. I had a 'lapse' and will pay dearly for it - I will be banned, lose my job and perhaps my family. Most of all I am terrified that I may end up in prison.
Does anyone know of possible outcomes or been through similar? I was doing so well in recovery and was finally winning the fight against depression, only for my utter stupidity and illness to rip it all away again.
I don't know what to do. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
