Hello I just wanted to message as I have been where you are back in November and I know how it feels like the end of the world. Hence my name I really thought it was. I blew much higher than you (102) and had a 22 month ban , I’ve done the course now which has reduced it (and dare I say the course was fun!
) but it still felt and feels a
Life time! Like you I was absolutely terrified of being in the paper, I am quite well known in my town and respected because of my job and I have a family bigish social media presence, because of this I was certain the paper would use this against me as I have been in the paper for positive things before. I couldn’t sleep and was checking the paper literally all day every day refreshing in a pit of despair luckily I was never in the paper other than the court roundup which I’m fairly sure no one ever reads, I’ve got an unusual name so everyone would know its
Me and no one’s ever mentioned it. So I would be surprised if you at such a smaller reading were in the paper.
I know it feels like the world is ending and you’ll never feel happy again but honestly you will, once the court is over you will feel a sense of relief and for me i then thought right im
Going to make a plan and get through this. I have been walking every where and last week clocked 40 miles!

The work side of things for me probably is easier in some ways as I am self employed and my job isn’t a Monday to Friday 9-5 but I do need to get lifts quite regularly I am lucky my mum and husband have been so good and supportive and happy to help me where I need it. Unless you are looking for a driving job I don’t see how one silly
Mistake will stop you getting a job, just keep looking and you will find something.
I’ve babbled on a bit there but I just wanted to let you know as if you look at my posts before I’ve been in some dark places because of my conviction but I now am out the other side and even though next June when it ends feels so long away I am just focusing on how healthy and fit I am going to be by then,Concentrating on that gives me a purpose and makes me know I can get through it and it’s ok, it will be ok I promise xx
