I am looking for some advice on what my next step(s) should be. I recently was denied unescorted access due to the results of my psychological evaluation. I am 27 right now, and from 17 - 21 I got into a lot of trouble based around alcohol. To clarify 4 disorderly conducts, 1 harassment, 2 hunting fines(not based around alcohol just listing them), 1 DUI with small possesion of marijuana, 1 simple assault, 1 failure to report an accident. After my simple assault, 2005, I calmed down a good bit, got a decent job doing restaurant management and stayed away from alcohol and stayed out of trouble. However in September of 2010 I went on vacation and let my guard down. I went to a bar with the group we were vacationing with and ended up getting a disorderly conduct for getting into a verbal argument with my fiance out front of the bar we were at. I was taken into the station and held for about 3 hours until I could blow within the legal limit, posted bail and later, once back home, paid my fine and have no further obligation to them. The basis for my denial of UA, as I understand it, is that my most recent disorderly conduct established that I have an alcohol problem and need rehabilitation to be granted access. The questions that I am trying to get answered are: 1) Would it be advisable to get a alcohol evaluation done through a local counseling service? 2) How long will I be denied UA, as I have heard it can be up to 3 years? 3) Do I stand a chance filing an appeal? 4) Should I start to goto AA meetings awhile to begin documentation of trying to better myself? 5) If I enroll in a counseling/therapy program or AA will that decrease the amount of time that I would have to wait to gain UA for the next time? If there is anything that I overlooked please feel free to let me know. I am new to this world and trying to get up and going. Thanks for the help.
