I've been reading posts on this site for a while and decided I need advice... I have been 'done twice' for DD last time being 8 years ago but have decided I want a car so have a medical on 9 march. I drink on feeling most and haven't had a good start to the year however I have not had a drink in about a week and don't intend to until my medical so would that give enough time to get my CDT levels in normal range? Also my biggest worry is years ago I suffered in silence with I can only describe as some mental health problem, I don't take medication but have many scars on my arms from self harming, I'm worried the dr will see these and say I'm a nutter or something. Has anyone else had this?
thanks
