   2 years? The usual least amount of time is 3 I thought I have definitely learned a lot from reading posts. I'll never drink the night before work after this is over though I rarely drink Traces of alcohol could have been mouthwash.

   You were hung over at work and were honest about it so all this? It's really ridiculous how many people pay the price for a diagnosis they don't have. You self reported to the program? What is OPD?

    Some states at least will let you get a license, maybe all. If I were you I'd try to pick a state where 3 years not 5 is the average sentence. Michigan and Nevada are average minimum 3 years.

    Healer555 replied to Quickstepper's topic in Recovery

    You were almost done and tested positive for alcohol? I'm guessing they will just add time unless maybe it was because you accidentally used mouthwash or something with alcohol unintentionally. Good luck
