Hi I was banned for 18 months as a HRO in 2016. In September 2020 I got a 1-year licence after passing my medical - I hadn't drunk for over two years. Unfortunately, I relapsed with my alcohol problem and in April I went into rehab for a month which cost 8 grand, to try to sort things properly. Because my much-delayed application went to my GP who disclosed the rehab (which was only right) my application for year 2 was refused and I am classed as alcohol dependent.
Rehab was the best thing I could have done, and I haven't felt the urge to drink since I came out at the beginning of May. I can apply again after a year dry.
My question is will this period of rehab count for or against me when I apply for my licence again, assuming I prove through regular blood tests by GP that I have stayed on the straight and narrow. For good I sincerely hope.
