Quoting

Last Friday night, I went out drinking with a few friends. I had to take a breathalyzer the next day and blew .04. Now, before you start lecturing me about drinking on probation, I completely understand that I have a problem and that alcohol is ruining my life and costing me extraordinary amounts of money in legal fees. Alcoholism runs deep in my Irish family, and though I had never been in trouble because of drinking before this, I still had an unhealthy habit of drinking to excess. I was just in denial of the problem. I now understand how easily my life could be destroyed by booze.
I'm going to call my PO when she is in the office tomorrow to inform her that I blew positive. I also want to make it very clear that I know that I need therapy, and that the living situation I'm in(myself and 3 other guys, all of whom drink to excess pretty regularly) is in part preventing me from being a successful probationer.
