Decided to post my timeline on here as others have been very useful to me.
Banned Oct 2019 for 41 Months - reduced to 32.2 Months with the DD Awareness Course.
HRO due to road side breathalyser reading - this was also my 2nd DD offence (had a 32 month ban in 2014) so I was extremely lucky to be offered the DD awareness course again.

Pretty much got my licence back 90 days after my initial application which I was very surprised at. Was convinced it would take considerably longer. I feel very lucky.
I've totally turned my life around after my second ban, a much happier and healthier person now that alcohol is no longer part of my life.
Getting my licence back was the last piece of the puzzle rebuilding my life..
I couldn't be happier.
