So, I am court ordered to test randomly, once a week for ETG. It is clear that if I test positive, that my visitation with my child will stop, immediately. I have also been court ordered to not smoke cigarettes outdoors, around my son, or medical marijuana or cigarettes, anywhere around my daughter. I am also not allowed to have any men that are not relatives, in the home.
While all of these are very clear, if not somewhat random orders, they are clearly stated as orders from a judge, through a court. Never have I been ordered to abstain from alcohol. It has been made abundantly clear that abstinence is expected, not one single court order states that I am to abstain from alcohol or alcohol based products, in no uncertain terms.
What gives? Does this make sense? Probably the wrong forum to post this in, but I always see comments that if a person is court ordered to abstain from alcohol and is ordered to random ETG testing, that they are clearly informed of that and in my case, there is not one shred of court order stating the obvious. Just seems very strange to me. This is a case where I admitted, before the first judge that I was an alcoholic, in those very words.
BTW... today marks 11 months of sobriety for me. Recovery is possible.
