it feels great to not have to deal with the crap that constant over indulgence of alcohol on a regular basis creates.

Makes dealing with the rest of the crap life throws at you less complicated too. Having a supportive partner is a big help and I agree with Mrs Fred on the ice cream

Congrats bro. Very happy for BOTH of you. Lets catch up later this week.

plthijinx · 10-26-2015, 08:03 PM

thanks all, i'm doing my best and shall continue to do so! had a HUGE bomb dropped on me today as well. my sister and i haven't been all that close due to my drinking and the hiatus from society didn't help either but when i told her that today i picked up my 90 day chip, she informed me that i am an uncle and that she hadn't told me about this due to my drinking. i'm still floored! i don't know too much at this point other than that he is 4 years old but i will be finding out more details soon.

btw, this isn't something i have mentioned on the bacefook site and i will at some point but for now, i'm keeping it under wraps.

Wow. That must've blown your mind.

glatt · 10-26-2015, 08:22 PM

Wow. That's big news. Congratulations on the 90 days.

orthodoc · 10-26-2015, 08:56 PM

So much going on for you - congrats and condolences Fred, very glad to hear of the 90 days and the new family connections.

Good lad, keep grinding.

coming up on month 7 with no problems, this has been much easier for me than I ever thought possible.

Most of you, if not all, know that I'm a pilot and hold a commercial certificate and that due to my drinking the FAA revoked my medical a few years ago because of it. Well, I've been jumping through the various proverbial "hoops" as directed by the FAA to re-acquire my second class medical.

One of the hoops was to undergo a substance abuse neuropsychological evaluation performed by a Human Intervention Motivation Study (HIMS) neuropsychologist. I took, and passed, the test on Feb. 4th which took all day and was very mentally intense as well as costing me a small fortune in cash, no credit cards or insurance accepted. Here is an excerpt from the conclusion of the doctors evaluation: "Given the fact that I fortunately saw no signs of aeromedically significant cognitive impairment on testing, I can recommend that Mr. Scheid be granted a Special Issuance in order to return to active flight status at this time."

next step is to open my mailbox and see a letter from the FAA with my medical inside. I'm sure it will only be valid for 6 months at a time for the next 2 years, but at least I can fly unrestricted once again and also for hire

That's great news.
