I have been entered into Pre Trial Intervention and the charges will be dropped and expunged from my record upon completion. The prosecutor agreed to this because it is my first arrest, not even a parking ticket in my past, and there was no diversion involved. The investigator that arrested me was in full agreement with this.
Now I am waiting for my evaluation. Been calling daily to see if the date can be moved up but no luck yet. I have been advised by my Peer Assistance group that I could be working in 2 months since this is my first offense and I did not divert from patients/hospital. Today is my peer assistance meeting; missed it last week because my husband was in a car wreck. He is okay but I had to pick him up because the car was not. Went to an extra NA meeting to make up for this.
I do feel more comfortable at the open AA meetings. I am in a city area and the NA meetings are IV drug users that are on methadone and they tell me I don't need to be there. Not a very open bunch of people. I have tried several groups. So for now, I will continue to go to both NA and AA.
