Below is an actual excerpt from a past client's letter to their probation sentencing judge:

"I have been on probation for almost a year now with CCJ. Doug seems really interested in how I view things about my situation and where I want to go after probation. I really appreciate that he is willing to listen to me about the changes I have made since I got my 2nd OWI. I am trying to get this past me and be the true me, SOBER me. I have taken a great deal from this terrible choice I decided to make, but I believe that I've come a long way in life; from drinking every weekend, excessive amounts of alcohol, to now being completely sober and free from the drug that has caused me so much pain, stress, and trouble over the years. I was just mainly in a state of denial and not seeing the broader picture of it almost ruining my life. I have learned that your true friends are the ones who support every move and choice you make in life that doesn't involve alcohol.

The road ahead of me looks bright as I am keeping true to my word of being sober and keeping my life that way. I have a lot of support from family and my close friends that cheer me on knowing that I have become a different person as they have watched me change from being the alcoholic that I once was to a happy and humble person that I am. I know that I am a better person than that and I want you and everyone else such as my probation officer to that I am a changed man. Alcohol will never make anyone happy, it is just the thought and feeling that it gives someone at that time. But in the end, it really just isn't worth it to risk losing everything, including your life, over a drink."
