I was caught drink driving on Saturday .
I had alcohol in the car at the time .
Was out on a night out on the Friday and hit the drink pretty hard thought I was OK to drive.
But then topped up during the Saturday.
Blew 97 at the police station . I was driving to go to my brothers to continue drinking.
Cooperated fully with police and held my hands up straight away.
Had a pretty hard time of it recently suffer from depression and I am an alcoholic .
This is the first time I have ever drink drived , my job at the time was a sales manager and it is a company car.
I owned up to my work and asked for help regarding my drinking, they offered me to resign today and a settlement agreement put in place . I have also moved to Glasgow but paperwork has my old address do I just change this when I go to court?
I have arranged to go to aa this Friday and get proper help.
So I have lost my job , my transport and respect from family and friends .
Do I mention the illness to the court ? What am I looking at sentence wise?
Do I have to disclose this when looking for other employment ?
Any help would be appreciated .
