 I did it again. Friday night the isolation got to me and I walked to downtown Athens to go to the No Where Bar and shoot pool. I drank too much. When I left the bar I walked to the Holiday Inn to rent a room but they were full. So I tried to walk back home and got a public intoxication charge.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. |

If you explain to the court you've already taken steps to deal with this problem and have a plan in place they may work with you to see you can carry it out. Pretty sure you also have a right to have a lawyer of your choosing present too.

when you go to court be prepared with a treatment option where you want to move to, someplace short term inpatient, or long term your choice. then when you meet the judge admit you have a problem and you had planned on moving and go into treatment... sometimes instead of jail time or a fine judges will do a remand to treatment and have you transported to treatment option. when this has happened to people I know they just sent for their personal items after they have gone through treatment and their treatment providers helped them to find a place to live. Usually they had their friends hold on to their personal items or made other storage arrangements until they could send for them. |
