Does anyone know if I might have a case?

Here is my story I will try to be brief however I want to be sure I get all the information in here so maybe someone can give me an answer. My daughter is almost 17 years old and all the years I have raised her I did not drink alcohol.A year ago she went with close family friends to Disney world,I paid for the trip and thought I was prepared to let her go.When she called me from Florida I felt slammed or something it took me awhile to figure out just what it was that bothered me so much,it was the fact that she got a plane and went all this way without me.I didn't realize it would bother me that she would not need me. Now I happened to be at my sisters house who is a big drinker,she was drinking that day.Me being an alcoholic is why I didn't drink all the years while I raised my daughter.I made a big mistake that day and chose to drink.I had a very difficult time not drinking after that,I tried hard for my daughter not to know because she had never seen me drink and I didn't want her to. One night I was already drinking when she came home from the neighbors house where she was supposed to have been spending the night.At 1st she didn't know what was wrong with her mom but once she figured it out she flipped out.After her yelling and screaming for awhile I chose to go sit in my car and listen to music.It was late at night and I didn't want her screaming to bother the neighbors and I also wanted to cry for I could not believe I had done this to her. I did not know that when I went outside she thought I intended to drive,not seeing me drink before she was very scared and she called 911. When the cops got to my house I was sitting in my car with the door open,and talking with my daughter.I was actually apologizing to her for scaring her.I will not deny that I was quite intoxicated but I was not driving and had not been driving.I was in my nightgown and slippers.I never denied to the officers that I was drunk I only told them that I was not driving and my daughter even said that no I had not left my driveway. The officers told me to put my hands behind my back that I was being arrested,only at that point did I stop being polite with them and I resisted arrest.Here I am a 41 year old lady with Multiple sclerosis and I had four cops slamming me to the cement one had his knee on the side of my head with so much pressure that my ear was swelled and bruised the next morning. At the station they asked me if I would take a Breathalyzer test.I refused telling them that I thought it would be admitting I was drinking and driving.They did not dispute this with me nor did they tell me I would lose my license for not taking it.Otherwise I would have taken it like I said I wasn't trying to say I wasn't intoxicated. At court I was told to plead guilty and they would drop the Breathalyzer charge,otherwise I could be found guilty of both and lose my license twice as long and have double the fines.I was surprised at what the cops said about that night.I thought they were lying but because I had been drinking I also thought it was possible I didn't remember correctly I came home and asked my daughter what she remembered and she remembered it exactly as I did.The officers were saying they had to stop me from backing out of my driveway. My daughter says the door was open I had the keys in my hand and she and I were talking because she had calmed down. I am still paying fines that I cannot afford,I do not have my license and I have to go to some driving school that is going to cost me $350.00 to go to this. What I would like to know is can I take them to civil court or something to get back at least the fines and something towards days I missed work due to court and a few days when I was unable to get a ride?My daughter is my only witness so I don't know what my chances are,I do not have a clue,I have never been in trouble before so I really don't know what to do?I feel I was forced into pleading guilty because I was told it was my best course of action.
