Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by : Is it ok to drink alcohol while on probation for a non alcohol related violation for disorderly conduct?
Basically the terms of the probation didn’t say anything about refraining from alcohol just not to get re-arrested for any violation and to attend counseling sessions. I am not that much of a drinker anyway though, so I don’t think it would be much of an issue to have a beer on occasion

It would be a risk to drink in public, so if you want a beer then do it at home.

Question by : PO’s recommendations on probation violation of drinking to excess?
A friend of mine was recently violated by his Probation Officer because he was found intoxicated. The PO is now going to recommend that my friend get in-patient treatment for alcoholism which means that he could spend some time in jail until a place is available at a treatment facility. What is the likelihood that the judge will go along with this considering that the probation is about to end and that all fees (except for court fines) have been paid and this is his first violation?

I got in a misdemeanor DUI wreck in 2005 in Weld County, Colorado. I received some fines and was ordered 2 years probation with alcohol counseling and random breath tests. I paid all my fines but never showed up for the treatment. I am from Kansas and had just moved to Colorado when I got in my DUI wreck. No one was hurt, I was the only vehicle involved.
I moved back home to Kansas about a year and a half ago, and naively assumed that since I had paid my fines the court might not come after me. I now have a warrant for my arrest.
I need to know what I should do. I am thinking about taking a bus to Colorado and turning myself in, but I am completely broke and can’t afford an attorney. I am trying to join the military, which is why I’m looking into this now.
What will happen to me if I just go turn myself in? I was originally given 90 days in jail but they let me off on probation.
PLEASE HELP! Let me know what legal actions I should take, and what to expect. THANK YOU!!
