What do I do? I don't drink or party anymore out of necessity and more importantly by choice. But with these restrictions (probation and no licence) I can have ANY kind of life. Being stuck at home day in and day out just makes me wanna get wasted until its over but I don't want to do any of that any more. I have tons of goals for the first time in my life but no way to achieve any of them. I made a few mistakes and bad decisions and now I want to right my life but like I said.. I cant do a damn thing. Cant even go to the store or look for a place to live. anyone have any advice?

A few DUI's? Well, looks like you're going to have to learn how to rely on public transport, and earn people's trust all over again. You have to go to AA meetings, i would imagine that would be an addition to your DUI issues from the judge, and obviously other forms of substance abuse treatment. You will have to rebuild your life again from the ground up, that's the consequence of substance abuse. And, if you have computer access, your life can't be that bad, it would lead one to believe that you have your basics provided for, so there is no need to feel sorry for yourself, you are luckier than most in your position.

OK tough love time. 1 you're an idiot. A few DUIs? I mean jesus loving K rhist I think you would learn after the first one. WAKE UP!!!
2. Join AA. Oh I know, you're not an alcoholic, bull S$#@ join AA you have a problem plus you'll meet new people and have something to do.
3. QUIT BEING LAZY!!! YES YOU ARE LAZY!!! No way to get around huh? Get a bicycle, ride the bus, ask a friend if you have any, offer to pay for gas. Plus riding a bike or even GASP walking will get you in shape and help you lose the beer fat.
4. Get a hobbby, you have tons of goals right? ACCOMPLISH THEM!!! Yayyyy Learn to play the guitar, build a better car, write a self help book, for god sakes do something other than complain the world is cruel to you and it's not fair you're an idiot for getting a few DUIs.
5. Looking for a place to live. You can log on the internet and complain but you can't look for a place to live. You once again are an idiot. I know you're probably getting all pissed off at me but like I said you NEED tough love. Craigslist.com
Roommate.com apartments.com try it out it works. AND STOP DRINKING!!! You don't need to drink to have fun. If you do drink, NO YOU ARE NOT SOBER ENOUGH TO DRIVE!!! 1 beer 2 beers half a beer...DONT TEMPT FATE!!! Use common sense, call a taxi, go home with someone, call a friend, call your parental types or someone you trust they will not be mad at you for calling them if you need a ride.

When you finally get sick enough of being stuck at home you'll find ways to get around. The bus isn't exactly an idea you probably cherish, but, it works. Look up the schedules in your city/town on the internet and you'll find you can get just about anywhere you really want to go. It might take longer, it might require you do a little walking. But you're not stuck. Where there's a will, there's a way.
Good luck!

You are finding out what it is like to pay for your mistakes when you get caught.
Get a bicycle or lots of friends to haul you around.
Do you have a job? Better get one close to home.
DUI is not funny, I am glad you are off the streets.
I know someone who lost his license for 2 years for driving on suspended and it was suspended for driving without insurance. His wife hauls him to work.
Just hang in there till it is over with and please don't drink any more.
Maybe you could do some voluneer work somewhere to use up your time.

Well Steve we make our own hell don't we?
At least your alive and didn't kill any one. It comes down to those choices, you choose to drink and drive, several times .
I feel bad your life sucks, but maybe you will think next time.
Your lucky to be home and not in jail for a couple of years.
Do your time, take some course on the pc, and for the record I hope you have learned your lesson.

I admire you for following your restrictions. I have two neighbors driving after revocation and it makes me a nervous wreck. Do you live in the country? If not learn to use your pubic transportation. My grandson found himself without a car and just loves the buses. No car payments, gas or insurance.

Stop drinking and save your cab fare, bus fare, ride share fare, by a bike, some skates, walk. You could have hurt or killed someone, driving intoxicated. Think twice, act once.
I'd rather have drinking drivers off the street than someone I care for/love hurt or killed by them. Better you than them.
Life sucks when you can't drink and drive, doesn't it???
I'm guessing one of your goals wasn't getting caught.

Public transportation? Bicycle? There are options besides cars, even though they aren't as attractive.
I'm glad you didn't kill yourself or anyone else while you were driving around drunk. Just be glad you are still here and have a future ahead of you.

Get a bus schedule, or suck up to friends. This is the thing that should make you open your eyes and realize what you have done. It is punishment, it's not supposed to be fun.
