FOREVER. These aren't driving points. A criminal record is forever unless the matters can be expunged. Ask a lawyer in your State. In Michigan you would probably not be eligible.

They stay on your record until you expunge your record. You can petition for an expungment after you have completed all of the terms of your sentence.

The arrest and convictions will always be on your record. If they were dismissed you can now expunge the arrest in Alabama.

See an attorney, the driving record is nearly impossible to expunge of have set aside, but the possession charge might be a possibility depending on all of your circumstances.

A conviction for marijuana possession stays on your criminal record forever and it can not be expunged (removed). It does not show up on your driving record. A conviction for reckless driving will stay on your driving record for 3 years. If you have already pleaded guilty, it's possible to hire a lawyer to withdraw your guilty plea and try to get the reckless driving charge reduced to a no-point violation.

Reckless driving, like any traffic offense, stays on both your criminal and driving records forever. They can never be removed or expunged. The marijuana possession will stay on your record as well unless it is expunged or you are sentenced under a deferred sentencing option such as 7411, which would have kept it off your public record.
