I just heard from the Ministry of Transportation and I've got my driver's licence back! I feel like Christmas came early. Not only will this make getting around a lot easier, it greatly expands my job hunting range, since I'm no longer limited to places on transit lines.
And I can stop getting the weekly blood and urine tests. Splitimage

Update 2 - I recieved another letter from the ministry of transportation (they clearly came out of order) saying that I have to file another report in april that I'm abstinant supported by weekly blood tests and that I'm mentally and emotionally stable.
The weekly blood tests are just annoying, and this is real motivaition to stay sober. The mental & emotional stability part pisses me off, It's a result of my pdoc giving a complete overview off my mental health Dx and treatment when she wrote them about my being abstinant for 6 months. Now this pisses me off because I see it as being discrimination based on mental health issues - I mean since when is depression a reason to deny a licence. I'm trying not to think about it, since I can't do anything about it today, and will just have to submit reports in April. But I really feel like the government is intruding way too much on my life. The really stupid thing is, I would have had to go through far fewer hoops if I'd just gotten a straight DUI. Assuming I didn't kill anyone, it would have been pay the fine, take the suspension, and be done with it. But between now and April, I'm just going to enjoy driving.

Yup notices crossed in the mail. I'm good to drive until April when there will be another medical review of my file, and I have to prove continued abstinance and mental & emotional stability. I do that I keep driving. I don't meet the conditions and they can revoke my licence again.
I'm seriously thinking about getting in touch with my provincial mood disorders association to see if they can help with getting the mental health conditions removed as I see that as simply discriminatory. I'm mostly ok with the rquirement for continued monitoring that I'm not drinking, as that at least is them just being cautious, since I am an alcoholic. It's just another thing to have to deal with down the road.

Yeah I don't get the mental and emotionaly stability thing either. If that was a requirement for all of us, to be stable all the time, we'd all be walking!!!!
