Britney’s lawyer Michael Goldstein tells TMZ ... “Through her plea today, Britney has accepted responsibility for her conduct.  She has taken significant steps to implement positive change which is clearly reflected in the Ventura County District Attorney’s decision to reduce the charge in this case and dismiss the DUI.  Britney appreciates this discretion and is also grateful for the outpouring of support she has received.”

I do hope this is a turning point for her regarding her relationship with alcohol and other substances. I know her boys have moved in with her and her relationship with them seems to have improved a lot, so hopefully this is the beginning of a positive shift.

She’s very lucky to get this outcome. As someone who’s been a fan for decades, I hope THIS was her wake up call and that she needn’t get into any more trouble with alcohol.
