Legal Question in DUI Law in Colorado

Is there anything I can do to show the court I want to change?

Here's my rap sheet:

DWAI 1999 Loveland

DUI 2006 Loveland

DUI + DUR 2007 Fort Collins

Got court November 5th.

I want to show the court I'm serious about changing my life. I know I'm an alcoholic. I don't want them to think I'm just putting on a show to get a reduced sentence...

I'm going on Antabuse voluntarily, using Mental Health Pre-trial Services, attending my therapy from my last DUI...

Is there anything else that would help? Punitive approaches have not worked in the past and I'd like to change. I hope the court will see that I need help more than I need punishment right now.

Thanks for the advice!

The change will help you but probably won't affect the sentence.
