Hi Guys,
I promised in a feed a while ago that i would provide an update on my driving situation. After a very long wait and a long hastle with the DVLA i have today found out that i will be getting my license back after 5 years.
Do get this license i had to attend 2 medicals (DVLA rejected the first because there was a signature missing) 50+ phone calls with the DVLA. Faxing my papers through over 3 times.
Its been a nightmare and a really horrible experience and one that I will certainly not be making happen again.
Its a very long and lonely road that the DVLA need us to go through but I believe everything happens for a reason whether it is good or bad. The one thing i have learnt through this is that all of what happens is down to me. I chose to drink and drive and i suffered the consequences. I took the steps to stop drinking and get my license back and i have now reached the end of that journey that i am sure some of you have just started or or going through.
Best advise i can give is to keep your eyes on the prize. Keep focused and be persistent and surround yourself with people that want to help you.
This blog i have been reading for a long time and it has kept me going through some pretty tough times and im so happy that i can share my good news.
If anyone wants any advise please feel free to reply to this note and i would be happy to help with any concerns or worries.
I finally feel that ive been given a fresh start and my life back!!
Cheers guys
