There's a saying I picked up many years ago: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade". So do what you can to rectify your situation, but if it doesn't turn out the way you hoped, then move on to greener pastures. They are everywhere.
X2 and very true...

I've got 2 DUIs and I'm doing petty damn good.
Both DUIs came at shitty times and 17/24yrs. Both DUIs caused me to lose or quit my job and the last job I quit I would be the shop manager/foreman by now and running things but I'm now working for myself and doing better than ever. Long story short DUIs aren't all that big of a deal and you'll probably get a wet and reckless because you didn't blow a .08+
