First things first, you need to be honest with yourself. Did you blow over? It's really that plain and simple. Judges won't look at anything but that.
Consult a lawyer you know and trust, don't just go to these 'Specialists in DUI's' jokers. They are basically the McDonalds of law.
Ask the lawyer yuo trust flat out what your chances are. If its not good. Bite the bullet, take the hit and save yourself the time and money of fighting this.
You'll be driving in a yr and your criminal record will be cleared in 2-3, well you'll be pardoned anyway. It sucks but it's what i wished i did. Instead of wasting more time and thousands of dollars on a lawyer.

If you choose to go the route of fighting this, or at east exploring that option, this is the best advice possible. Don't just hand your wallet to someone who says they can get you x and y result, not only are such promises unlikely to be fulfilled they're borderline illegal. Find a lawyer who tells it to you straight, doesn't sugar coat the reality you face and charges you a fee that is in line with what a comparable lawyer will charge. There's an element of lawyers out there that make a living off big promises without results, don't fall for that. You're in a bad place, but don't make it worse by spending money on legal fees that don't get you anywhere.
It seems that you've quite clearly learned a major lesson and are being very mature about the whole thing. Best of luck, it's not the end of the world.
