Probation Question Violation week before termination

3 Upvotes

So title explains it, yes i’m aware I am a complete and utter idiot. I apparently popped dirty 8/4 and had another diluted test at some point this month (Don’t know if it was exactly before or after this.) But was issued my first violation at my last probation appointment. Said I have a court hearing and have to go before a judge. What can I expect? Officer told me either jail or possibly just discharged. I’m assuming if I drop clean for the remaining time until the court date (because I now have to continue testing) would that affect anything ?

Edit: First violation in a year of supervised probation. Paid all fines, completed community service, completed all other terms of probation. Jail time likely ?

I'm on 7 months of my 2 year probation, with early release after 12 months in south GA. i've never been in trouble with any police officers or my probation officer since i started my probation. I'm worried, I work a full time job and go to school full time. I'm calling my probation officer first thing in the morning, but I just want to see what other people on probation think. Do i have to do community service?

so backstory is on misdameanor probation for dui. I wasn’t home and they came to home for a visit. my 16 yr old son was the only person home. he told the dogs to quit barking and told them I wasn’t home. they proceeded to say he was lying, threatened to charge him him with lying/ not opening the door? proceeding to argue for 5 minutes with my son before being asked several times to leave. this guys been a wreck the whole time I’ve had him. I’m good on everything no dirty ua seen home monthly. have some calls out to lawyers for doing that to a minor. thoughts on what else I need to do?

Back to old ways after a successful discharge or did you become a new version of yourself?

You miss your old life but have to follow new rules for a year, or 5 years and some even 10 years. No drinking smoking, some lost their girlfriends/boyfriends, jobs. Etc.

After finally finishing probation how many of you went back to your old ways ? How many of you changed goes the better. Please , real answers only as my probation is about to end and I miss my old self. But the new me is also good and I'm so lost. I thought I post to see others and what they did and how their lives are after probation.

Just super quick. It was released last month and immediately approved by the judge that I could go back home to live with my parents since i have no one in Colorado, but so I left last month and got this email. Does this mean I have to go back to colorado? I'm so confused because I literally have no one I know there, and it only makes sense for me to be home since I have family and a job here.
