Sounds like you need to buy a calendar.

I would suggest getting an attorney to assist in brokering a deal with the county attorney. You might be able to get the failure to appear charge dismissed, especially if you are planning on pleading guilty to the PI. Regardless, you've forfeited your bond money by not appearing, and there's a bench warrant out for your arrest (again).

Get an attorney. Go to court when you're supposed to. And if you're missing court because you are under the influence of alcohol/drugs, you definitely need help. Ask for that help.
