Help Them See the Truth By Proving Your Rehabilitation
Judges, prosecutors, and even probation officers want reasons to help you. If you show you don't care and aren't trying to address your underlying problems then they will follow suit. BUT if you show and prove you are proactive post arrest, then they will support those efforts. Showing them progress towards sobriety always begins with an assessment / drug and alcohol evaluation. It continues with follow through: AA/NA meetings, classes, and checking in regularly for screenings.
Persuasion is Always About Supporting a Person's Values
Judges and prosecutors take an oath. That oath states that they are to safeguard and protect the public. If the proposals and steps that your attorney is having you take support that value then the court and DA will align with you. They will support your time and energy spent in treatment and rehabilitation.
Your sobriety is never just for you.
Your lack of wellness, your instability, and your ill health affects everyone around you. Your family, your friends, and the community are all potentially impacted by all your actions. Having an IID (ignition interlock device) on your car is a community safeguard because the public is always the named victim of a DWI with or without an accident.
