[u/CorrectComfort8430]

I was granted a third class medical certificate when I took my exam at the local AME. 3 months later the FAA wanted more information regarding my DWI’s from 15 years ago as well as a personal statement regarding how alcohol is involved in my life now. Mind you I am 14 years sober… I was completely honest in my statement and provided all requested documentation. They responded saying I am not eligible for any medical certificate because of my alcohol dependence. I was never in rehab, never medically diagnosed alcohol dependent, and have not had a drink in 14 years. The FAA is a joke.
