Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Complicated Problem Need Advice

[ravenrae]

In 1999 I was sentenced to a 2 year residential drug treatment program with a 3 year suspended prison term. I had a prior prison term in 1989 for posession. I stayed for 9 months and then walked away. A warrant was issued for my arrest for probation violation on 3/14/2001. I have stayed clean and sober since but unfortunately I also stayed with my alcoholic husband who was on the run from parole. In 2002 we were living in New Mexico. He had lost his job again and so I took a job at a liquor store. I know it was stupid but I stole money from the store and we left the state. A warrant was issued for my arrest for embezzlement of cash on 10/15/2002. From there we went to Colorado and needless to say my husband lost his job again. I was working at a bed and breakfast and ended up stealing from them too. Again we left the state and returned to California. A warrant was issued for my arrest on 05/01/2003 for larceny. Shortly after our return to California my husband was arrested and I am happy to say that he is now my ex-husband, however, although since that time I have obeyed all laws, have a good job and have returned to school...I know that I have these things facing me and it is just a matter of time before it all catches up to me. I would rather be proactive and come forward to deal with my reckage than have my life yanked out from under me because I get pulled over for a burnt out tail light or something. I know things don't look good for me. The only things in my favor are that I am clean and sober, obeying all laws now, employed and pay my child support arrears each month. I am majoring in alcohol and drug studies : human services. But I did these things and need to make ammends. Because these warrants are in 3 different states what would be the best way to handle this? I am very frightened but I want this over with. I am almost 46 years old now and I don't want to spend the rest of my life in prison. What kind of sentences am I looking at? Please help.
