How do I get my licence back?

I have had a clean driving licence for 46 years, never been stopped or charged with any offence. I recently applied to renew my HGV licence and got a letter back saying my full driving license is revoked due to alcohol misuse because my GP mentioned it on my medical that was required for my HGV renewal. What do I do?

You have to go and see your GP about getting into an Alcoholics Anonymous group and once he has checked your alcohol in blood level a few times he may clear you.
