"She spent a very sobering night in the cells to reflect upon what she had done," he said.
He said she suffers from emotionally unstable personality disorder which means she can act on impulse and without thinking.
Cowin, aged 34, of Portland Place, Sutton cum Lound, Retford, admitted drink driving when she appeared at Mansfield Magistrates Court, on Tuesday.
She was fined £450, with £85 costs and a £180 surcharge.
She was disqualified for 28 Months but a rehabilitation course could reduce the ban by 28 weeks.
