Hello Blue81, DVLA guidelines state that you have to be alcohol free for 1 year if you have been diagnosed with alcohol dependence/been through a detox/have alcohol related cirrhosis. I assume your stint in rehab was also a detoxification?
The DVLA will class you as dependant if you have been through any detoxification program. Probably not the news you want to hear but by DVLA guidelines the earliest you can re-apply for your licence will be 1 year from the date of your last drink, did you stop drinking in March 2018 or 2019? Make sure to keep in good contact with your GP as they will want evidence to back up how long you have been sober for. This will be made available to them via doctors records.
