You may want to speak to an attorney who is familiar with these minor prosecutions in your area. I know some city attorneys who offer a deal where the defendant attends some meetings at narcotics anonymous, and then they dismiss the charge when he is successful. Other city attorneys will insist on a guilty plea, and an assessment of fines.
First, you should kick yourself for handing over proof of your guilt. Then you should get a lawyer.
