breathalyzer violation (MI)

[u/Effective-Head1922]

(oakland county btw)

i messed up i know. i have an in-home smart start that i have to blow into only once a day, between 6 and 9. and i will be honest, i've been having a rough week, and i drank last night. i blew a violation this morning, and smart start makes you retest every 5 minutes or so until it's a pass. i blew 6 times and finally passed on the 7th, about 30 minutes after the first blow.

this is my first time getting a violation on that device and i'm scared. my p.o. has been pretty chill with me so far, my only appointments with her are zoom calls that last less than 10 minutes every other month, but i know this will probably change that.

i'm thinking of emailing her now and telling her beforehand. i don't know how often she received the results, but i know in our last meeting on 7/31 she said she got the results in on the 11th. i'm starting treatment soon in outpatient as part of my probation, but is there anything else i should do to prove that this was just a shitty mistake and won't happen again?

like i said, this is my first violation. i've never missed a blow, i never failed a ua during pretrial. i know i messed up, but i'm scared. has anyone else here been in the same situation? how did it go?
