I picked up my ex-girlfriend from work and I was tired, I fell asleep in the passenger side of my truck so when my girlfriend got off she could drive us home. As she was driving we were pulled over in a different county and I was awakened by my ex freaking out. We were both using drugs earlier that day and still had them in the truck. She was so scared and 17 years old at the time so being the nice guy that I am I told the police officers it all belonged to me under 20 grams of marijuana and 3 xanax. It was a long way from home I attended court 5 times before I got tired of it and said I was guilty to get it over with. I was a big mess hooked on drugs, they put me on probation  with adjudication with held if I completed One year of probation with flying colors. Unfortunately I was 22 at the time the peak of my partying age and it was all I wanted to do. I was an addict and couldn't seem to stop on my own, then the judge they took that option away and I voluntarily enrolled myself into a 6 month waiting I chose to be incarcerated while I was waiting for a bed at an in house drug rehab Thank god for that program or I would of never knew how good it is to be sober after I completed that i followed up with 3 years probation and completed it sober and till this day I'm still sober. I went from being a construction worker at the time of the arrest then started to study and worked my way into finding a career, which now My profession being a Sign Language Interpreter and there are so many interpreting assignments that are legal, schools, jails, and some medical that require a background check which most places prohibit convicted felons, all this due to having "3" xanax this incident happened on 7/26/06 and I've been carrying this on my back since then. I need to get rid of this felony and would love to win my daughter back. I wish I would of known about this rehab when I first started I wouldn't have this "felony"because I couldn't get clean on my help I needed all the AA, CA, and NA classes out there to help me realize that there's more to life than getting "high".
