Hi everyone,
Thanks for all your contributions on here.
I have a blood test booked on the9th Feb, after my 1 year license expired on 26th of June last year. This will be my 3rd renewal. The first 2 I passed no problem as I had been tee total since 2017. This year over lockdown, I have been furlooughed on and off and seriously binged over Christmas and New Year - I rekon at least 120 units a week (roughly 15 - 18 units a day). I have been dependant in the past and put this down again when I filled out the application last April, so I assume DVLA still class me as a high risk, despite 2 years sober. As soon as I got the call for my appointment on 20th Jan, I stopped drinking and was pleased I had no withdrawals. I rely on driving for work and I'm already writing that off in my head as I don't think my body will have enough time to recover the CDT test in 3 weeks. I know everybody is different. I am awaiting an appointment with my GP to go over things. I have never needed to see my new doctor about my drinking.
Basically, I let myself go over lockdown and Christmas, being stuck on my own, and now I'm already assuming I need to find a new job and make arrangements.
The clinic I have my blood test at have said I can rearrange if I can't make the appointment - which I think I'm going to have to do, but do any of yuo think I have the slightest chance going frome that level of intake to3 - 4 weeks of tee total?
I'd appreciate any feedback, and best wishes to all
