My court date is on May 1. My lease is up at the end of May and I planned on going back to Lake City, Florida and put myself back in the Jenkins' Veterans Domiciliary. Now I do not know what will happen. If the Judge gives me jail time or probation I will end up homeless. I am scared!!
My sister has given me the name of a lawyer but I do not know if he will help me. Lawyers have very busy schedules and my court date is only a month away. I always self-destruct when the mental health issues get too severe.
I wanted to go back to Lake City six months ago but I was stuck in a years lease.

This issue is resolved. All I had to do was pay a $210 fine. I forget that Athens is a college town and people get arrested for public intoxication on a regular basis. Because the legal system in Florida beat me up so bad I panicked. Luckily the lawyer said he would tear up my check.
