First off, I want to commend you on taking care of your issue by voluntarily going to treatment and getting the help you needed. The FAA however will not care about this. If you disclose your past history of opioid use you are going to be waiting bare minimum 18 months before you get a medical...

I have the list. Would need your email or you can make an account on here and I can message you.

Nobody ever decides to become an alcoholic. That was probably the dumbest most ignorant thing I have ever read on this forum and shows you how ignorant some people are.

The HIMS program working as it’s supposed to, lining the pockets of its corrupt HIMS ame, psychologists and psychiatrists. Unfortunately for your husband he went to the wrong HIMS psychiatrist and ame. The only thing you can really do is wait. Contacting my congressman’s office got me a response...

OP, make an account and message me. Might be able to help you

Me from government. Me here to help

I’ve been told by my HIMS ame, the company that schedules my random drug testing, the faa and the admins of a major airline that it’s not possible to test positive on peth from incidental exposure like mouth wash, hand sanitizer and alcohol in food. I was specifically told the only way to come...

The useless morons at the faa aren’t going to change anything. They will fight it and it will take an act of congress.

Maybe one day they’ll be kind enough to update their chart to show that you need to be off medications for 90 days instead of the 60 they claim if you decide to try the off SSRI protocol (decision path 1).

Would have to get a HIMS ame and start drug testing again and redo all the testing and psych evals most likely.

You can absolutely get a first class medical but you will have to fulfill and have favorable reports from the HIMS psychiatrist and HIMS ame.

I think at minimum you’ll have to go thru the abuse path and be monitored for at least 2-3 years and then you might be released. It really depends on how much you can convince the HIMS psychiatrist that this was just a one off dui that will never happen again and you don’t have any tolerance or...

You need a HIMS ame and are looking about a year minimum to get a medical. You should start random drug testing asap to start documenting abstinence/sobriety. If you have not yet been denied a medical you could at least start training to get a sport pilot certificate and you can at least build...

If you end up trying to validate your easa license/medical please let us know how it goes. It sounds like it should work since you have a valid medical and easa license so I personally don’t see what the problem would be. If I was in your situation I would try the same thing.

Wait a minute. Are you telling me that an ACTUAL physician who was ACTUALLY involved in your healthcare was the one who approved you to return to flying and it wasn’t some piece of garbage government employee that hasn’t practiced medicine in years?
