What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
Hi, I'm Gowsky and I was assigned to informal adjustment two months ago for possesstion of marijuana and parefinellia. At the time of my arrest I was 17, and once i started informal adjustment (basically probation) I had already turned 18. So I'm on juvenile "probation" for four months with a suspended license and I am required to write a 5-page paper and pass a monthly urine screen at my monthly meeting with my probation officer.
I have suffered from drug addiction for many years, and I had been having a very hard time quitting once on probation. I smoked marijuana for the first two weeks after my baseline, attended the next meeting, and denied doing so and took my urine screen, knowing that my levels had gone down, because two weeks was the longest I had ever gone without smoking. The second month (where i'm at now), I had a slip up on New Years, and then once again 11 days prior to my next meeting. My meeting is now 7 days away, and I'm very scared of what may happen.
I have been attending AA as of lately in hopes to treat my addiction, and I am planning on getting a therapist. But when I go into my meeting in 7 days, I don't want to tell him that I messed up, because i'm scared that I will violate and possibly go to jail, not to mention i havn't recieved my results from my last urine screen.
Giving the above information, I would like to know what the punishment and procedure is for violating probation, and also for violating it twice in case that is the situation. Hopefully this information, will allow me to mentally prepare myself for what may happen, and i think it may let me sleep easier.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
