I messed up and received a DUI just recently and along with it I faced charges in court and a GOMOR. I am now being told that even though i am not going to get demoted or article 15, incould face QMP which can lead to separation. Is this something i can overcome? What can i now now to mitigate the damage? With the army increasing its capacity , and mot meeting its recruiting goals, is there a shot I could be retained?

The DUI will trigger the QMP during the centralized selection board. It doesn't matter whether your GOMOR is filed locally or in your permanent file, if it's annotated on your NCOER then it will be tough to overcome. You can write a letter to the present of the board but it's a double edge sword.

The GOMOR will trigger a QMP notification. You should get your notification around the time the MILPER that announces the next centralized promotion board is announced. From notification to ETS is approximately 11 months. You can find the QMP announcement on the HRC website.
In my experience, I have never seen a DUI retained. One guy had over 30 letters of recommendation ranging teammates, to former leaders, MSG - COL and was not retained.
QMP does not look at strengths of the Army, they look at the quality and character of the leader. You will receive half separation pay (unless you're already close to retirement). If you were authorized to go into the reserves, you would receive full separation pay, but last I checked they weren't granting waivers for QMP. Also, if you have an ongoing MEB you will be allowed to finish and separate that way.

As a police officer I tried very hard not to give any military personnel a DUI unfortunately it was always a career ending event. Sorry
