Social Worker advice needed

My partner took me to court for alcohol, social and court were involved and I was a week off of obtaining a residency order and my behaviour was detrimental.
The children are now with their dad and we have not heard from social however they have been informed.
I slipped up with the drink to a point where he needed to step in, I had also been issued an alcohol undertaking
We are both as parents working together, to get the help and cause minimal disturbance to the kids.
What will happen?

You can't take someone to court 'for alcohol'.

Do you mean he took you to court for custody of the children? If so what was the outcome?

Or do you mean that he has the kids and that he's taking you to court for custody?

If you explain exactly what's happening people might be able to advise.

If you have an alcohol issue and he doesn't, it's obviously better that the children are mainly with him while you recover.
