And come the devorce, which is over 50% in America, and we’ll over 50% initially started by the woman, how do you think it’s going to work out when you go all “I’m a addict”
No need to project on the OP, he didn't mention divorce at all.

IF divorce is in the cards, I would suspect you're better off doing it while unemployed and unable to hold a medical. Lot of states, the higher earning spouse pays. That could change when/if one gets back to the airlines, but who knows how long that will be?
If the Big D is on the table, call a lawyer.

Get help if you need it. Then HIMS is a mechanism to get your job back (which would otherwise not be an option). HIMS might even help you with the problem, YMMV. I know people who are very grateful for HIMS. Have also heard the horror stories about the HIMS Industrial Medical Complex.

Brilliant.
First continue to fly with a known medical deficiency, while getting treatment on the DL?
Then lie to the FAA (and the fed and DoJ) when you next fill out the medical form? Go read the threads in the Military and Health forums about the ongoing federal investigations... people are already getting emergency revocation orders, with federal indictments to follow. 5,000 pilots under investigation.
I'd suggest that step one in any such situation is call the union HIMS person... if you pull the HIMS lever BEFORE you get caught by TSA, the process is much smoother. I don't know but would assume that HIMS is available for probationers... otherwise it discourage getting help, which could lead to flying under the influence of something.
