I voluntarily sought help from my doctor because my drinking had gotten out of control when we were all stuck at home due to COVID. I took medication from the doctor, saw a talk therapist for a few months, and ended up quitting alcohol use.
I'm wondering how difficult it will be for me to pass a medical exam given my history. I have never had any legal consequences (no DUI, arrests, etc). I read some articles about people getting their licenses back in just a few months after a DUI, which sounds much more serious an offense then just asking for help.
Thoughts about how to approach this?
