Takes a lot of money, and about tens years. Mixed with some common sense and sobriety. No offense but what were you thinking? Driving and being drunk or high is just not smart. Hopefully no one was hurt and you learned a hard lesson from this. Life will go on hopefully with a smarter sober person?

Yeah, you'll get through it and I agree with the personal advice given by the other people who answered. If you're an alcoholic and want to get sober, got to AA. It works.
On the practical side, if you push it, the Court must hear a criminal case in 6 months (it's that "speedy trial" thing in the Constitution). The DUI stays on your license forever in my state, but the points against your license only stay 3 years. Even if this is your 1st offense, you will lose your license for some period of time. DO NOT DRIVE WITHOUT A LICENSE. yOU WILL GO TO JAIL IF CAUGHT. Listen, my friend, I do not drink ANY alcohol and drive. None. If everyone else drinks, I drive, or vice versa. I know its impractical, but there are too many checkpoints where I live. Go without a drink for a night or risk going to jail? Not a real tough choice for me. If it's a tough choice for you, I'd go to an AA meeting. One last thing--this will affect your insurance costs for about 10 years as the others suggested. You could shop around for better rates after a year or two if you don't get any more tickets of any kind. And-don't get any more tickets of any kind or you'll need a 2nd job to pay insurance. Not having insurance? A crime in my state and another ticket if you're caught driving without insurance.

Have a beer or two and relax. Or maybe not. Amazing in this day and time people still want to screw around and drive drunk. Time to pay for the consequences of your actions. It will be years before this comes off your record.

. . . but it was worth it, wasn't it? I mean, you got to party down with people who don't give a crap about you, you got to tell your story to the bushes, then bash up your truck and get a ticket. Then you have to go to court and lose your license.
WHAT A BLAST!
Just think, when you get your license back and a new truck, you can do it again!
PARTY DOWN, DUDE!

Take it as a lesson in life. You'll get through it eventually though. In the meantime you suffer the consequence of your mistake.

It was your decision to get into the vehicle and drive while drunk. You are going to have to accept the consequenses. Don't complain about the high insurance you are going to have to pay just be glad you didn't kill anyone.
