Can I get this DUI reduced to a reckless driving?

[eilis]

I'm 20 and turn 21 in two months. I got drunk and drove after a horrible fight with my brother whom I was terrified of (I know I'm an idiot - believe me, my whole life has fallen apart and I know I am lucky I or myself did not get hurt during this stupid decision) and I crashed my car in to a parked vehicle. I don't remember the crash, I think I may have hit my head very hard. I work full time and have never had a traffic ticket in my life. I take care of my whole family. I'm extremely responsible and I made a mistake that will never, ever be made again. I obtained a lawyer and he is waiting for my "discovery" so we can go over the case but in the mean time, while pulling my hair out and damning myself to hell, I would like to know if there is anything I can do.
I was told if I start going to AA it may help? I am going to start going tomorrow. I know since I drank and drove there must be a problem with alcoholism although I don't drink often at all.
There were a LOT of things going on during this, will that matter to the judge?
My boss wants to write a letter for me, explaining what type of person I am. Will this help?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

No. You drove drunk. There's no getting it reduced. You're lawyer might finder an error in the case that can be used in your favor.

MAY BE YOUR LAWYER CAN GET IT CHANGES TO A DRIVING WHILE IMPAIRED OR RECKLESS DRIVING . BUT CARITOR LETTERS FROM PEOPLE THAT KNOW YOU WILL HELP A LOT AND SHOW YOUR HUMBLENESS AND THAT YOU ARE VERY VERY SORRY . dONT GO BEFORE A JUDGE WITH AN ARRITUDE AND SAY YES AND NO NOT YA AND NA, DRESS NICE AND RESPECTFUL .
