I was an alocoholic and finally reached the point that I sought medical help so as to stay in my chosen career, aviation as a pilot.
I admitted myself to Schick Shadel treatment hospital in Seattle Wa in January of 1985.
My Transport Canada doctor was aware of my treatment and has my treatment file from Schick Shadel which I gave him as does Transport Canada .
I have just retired from a lifetime of accident free flying in April of this year and have not had a drop of alcoholic beverage since my leaving Schick Shadel in 1985.
Alcoholism can be cured.
