I know this might be a bit of a touchy subject.
However, I feel compelled to ask advise from some of my fellow pilots. I hope you can appreciate me being very honest here.
Doing contract work I find myself 3 out of 4 weeks every month in a hotel room in the middle of nowhere. I read a lot, bring my laptop, have good social contacts and do the odd crossword puzzle, I'm even learning a new language
Still I find myself drinking 3-4 glasses (very good) whisky every night. Now to be absolutely clear about it, I do NOT drink well before I have to fly. So I can safely say it does not affect my performance. On the other hand I drink more when I don't have to fly the next day
My point is: When do you admit you have a problem and seek some help???
I think I'm not there quite yet, but then again dont we all love that small word called "denial"
Your thoughts/advise on the subject are greatly appreciated......
