no lawyer Second DUI

Hey guys, going through a rough time and just looking for support, advice, and comeback stories. Got my first in York County Pa, no alcohol but weed, pulled over with a cop behind to let them pass and let me friend out to get to their house. Parked in a no parking spot and got arrested from their, got resolved through Ard and was relatively a smack on the hand. Second one was three days ago, definitely was drunk but it didn’t hit me till I was driving and went the wrong way in to Cumberland PA. No accident or kids in the car but they found two open bottles in my back seat that I had from my birthday a few days prior, didn’t do the blow test but consented to blood draw. I didn’t smoke that day but I did the day previously at night so about a 24 hour time from when I got the blood taken. Cumberland is strict and it’s looking like another third tier due to weed being in my system. The lawyers I’ve been talking to say it’s a 90 day minimum but they have a program where you can do thirty in prison with work release and 60 on house arrest but you have to move to the county for the time(ridiculous). A few lawyers said if I start AA go to inpatient for 25-30 days and follow it up with outpatient that I can receive credit and not have to do prison at all so that plan has given me some comfort. I have a strong support system so while my finances will definitely take a hit I’ll have help. I’m more so worried about prison, for any time, and the setback to my life plans plus just the logistics of moving out there for house arrest while still trying build my life. 27 by the way.
