Hi, I plead guilty to being drunk in charge and assault. I got a 12 month ban (double the recommended sentence as I had previous failure to supply a specimen) 12 month probation including a 6 month alcohol rehabilitation order and paid compensation to assault victim. 

How long before this is spent - I have been reading that if you have a previous it is only spent when the greatest is over - which i think is 11 years (stays on my license but unsure how long till spent). 

I got dismissed from my job of 30 years because of this latest conviction (even though outside of and not related to work), nobody will touch me for employment.
