My last day two was the last time my wife paid my bail (and the last time she ever will) and I walked out of jail and the arraignment with conditions including reporting for a BAC 7 days a week between 6 and 9 AM. That reporting became the focus of my whole day - I had to stay sober until 6 AM the next day. And that became a habit over the course of 5 months before trial.
If you can stay sober until bedtime, you’re a winner, you beat the beast for another day. If you can make a plan and follow through with it, I’d bet your odds of getting to bed sober increase. Go see your doctor for anti-craving or preventative medicine (like Antabuse for alcohol), go see a counselor, go to an AA meeting. I did all these things and more out of desperation to stay sober and out of jail. As time passed, I did these things because they gave me comfort. As more time passed, I do these things because I love them and I love my sobriety.
I was a decades long drinker, a daily drinker, a 5 time DUI offender, nearly unemployable, a loser. I got sober by telling myself that any fool can stay sober for 24 hours. I told myself that every day, and I believed it then and I believe it now. If sobriety can come to me, it can come to you too, brother. The first physical thing I had to do was to stop drinking or using, I find it a lot easier to stay sober that way 
. The first spiritual thing I had to do was admit I am powerless over the booze and drugs, and that I had to have help to get out of the quagmire.
Blessings on your house.

Welcome to the forum @Melliemt.
Are you going to AA or anything like that, actually I would imagine that the court will make you go. I have heard though that if you get in there first and can display to the judge that you are taking your recovery seriously and attending AA that they may go a little easier on you. With this being your third DUI I would imagine you need all the good graces before the courts that you can muster. Stick around on here, it helped me to read as much as I could, every time I had a couple of minutes free and I check in every day on the’checking in daily’ thread.
