I didn’t drink for 3 weeks. My CDT score was 0.9%…
I only really drink on shopping day, & a few at the end of the month when my wages clear!!
I had my blood test done on the 13th June. Dvla then contacted my GP a week later. Luckily the GP called me to go through the forms he was sent. Phew!!
I’m on pregabalin for nerve pain due to a back injury. But I’m slowly reducing my dose. GP was happy as I’ve been on them so long they don’t make me drowsy at all.
During my ban I was on drugs for 3 years so had to fill in a DG1. I stopped using them in 2020 thank goodness.
I kept calling dvla all through July!! On the 28th July they told me I need to book a urine test. I booked this before their letter arrived. I did that test on the 8th August & I know the result was clean, even though they won’t tell me over the phone!!
I’ve called dvla today. They said it’s with the decision makers now & can’t tell me how long I have to wait!!
So you’ve already abstained from booze for 2 weeks & have another 3 weeks til your medical. Just stick to the not drinking, obviously!! I took milk thistle tablets as well. Not sure how much they helped, but they are good for your liver!! Also took vitamins mate. Drank plenty of water to flush the system out
I reckon you’ll be alright with 5 weeks of not drinking.
All I can say is keep up the good work & you should be alright.
Good luck amigo!!
