Spoken like someone who has no knowledge on the subject. Thanks for your worthless addition to this thread.
This disease/illness/what ever you want to call it is not curable, but it IS treatable. The solution, complete abstinence for the rest of your life. Thats where the HIMS program comes into play. The program helps you achieve that goal. There is over a 90% recovery rate for pilots in the program as compared to less than 50% for regular people. The pilots that enter this program bust their tails to get back in the cockpit. They end up being some of the best employee's/pilots out there because they had to really work hard to get back.
I know a few of these guys/gals. I would put my life in their hands by riding on their aircraft anytime anywhere.
