His brother Tom Appleton read his victim impact statement on his behalf.
Arrow was disqualified from driving indefinitely and ordered to pay $2500 emotional harm reparations to Appleton.
Arrow has had three previous drunk driving convictions in 1997, 2011, and 2013.
Judge Stephen O'Driscoll said that given Arrow's history, there was a chance she would reoffend.
At the time of the incident, Arrow's blood alcohol level was 1009mcg - despite having a zero-alcohol licence imposed on her on January 10.
Her defence lawyer said she was suffering mentally after the loss of her mother.
Her now ex-husband took her children away and threatened she would never see them again.
She has acknowledged she has a problem and her lawyer said she has finally realised that "her and alcohol do not mix".
