You know what you did was wrong and you keeping trying to justify your lie. You presented AA as required when it is NOT as a matter of law. Many pilots have used RR, how the h%$l should I know the numbers of certs? I'm not an official.
Fixed it for you again. There is more than one way to recovery.
RR is free, you never have to buy anything. Though AA may be free, HIMS is very very expensive. And you continue to lie and mislead, anything you have to pay for RR is HIMS related expense, NOT RR related. Psych, urine tests...
And you would suggest as a cheaper alternative the $90,000 of 3 month inpatient treatment? During that 3 months you cannot work either.
That extra stuff is all voluntary and is not forced on anyone if they don't want it, the free course on AVRT is enough to break an addiction for life.
Ahh, and I will keep faith that the OP can differentiate between the concept of necessary and sufficient. Hard to believe someone got through medical school without knowing the difference.
I NEVER said anything about moderate drinking, or controlled drinking. RR is strictly about abstinence. One relapse and you are banned for life from RR.
That is extremely offensive to me. I have been to Mexico three times since RR and have not had a drink even though it would have been extremely easy and nobody would have ever found out. IT WORKS for me, and for you to state otherwise is an insult to my dignity.
It is proof because that is a licensed 1st class medical pilot flying for the airlines. It is proof that you can be CERTIFIED without AA.
You said AA is the only option for certification.
This is FALSE for 1st class as well. PROOF below. Let's remember it's not just about certification, it is about safety. AA is ineffective.

Love this. Guy used to drive drunk but never got caught. Holier than OP though!
bonus: Guy holds himself in esteem for taking a taxi's home after a night out drinking. Wow, I am so proud of you!
