Disqualifiers for Prime?

Thanks for the luck, and not to be rude but I have been clean for two years by choice and will remain so with or without this job. My using days have BEEN over, my question clearly stated my situation, and frankly I don't need reminded of something I have been doing on my own for years before coming to the community with what I felt was a legitimate question. Most comments have been helpful; others have been, to be blunt, a little insulting.

I can understand some skepticism, but I feel like two years is long enough to earn some credibility, especially when I have tried to be nothing but respectful and humble to this community.

 

I agree 100% and believe as you do that this occupation deserves to be held at that standard of safety due to the risk involved. With that said, I never once worked under the influence, even as just a bartender, let alone be willing to risk my life or others by getting in a vehicle high. Also, I wasn't addicted to heroin- quitting smoking is pretty much a matter of realizing it wasn't doing me any favors. It was never a "crutch" or something I "needed." I never had withdrawals or anything. It has been a hell of a lot harder to stop drinking pop than it ever was to stop smoking. I am not advocating it or saying it wasn't a big deal. I am saying that for me, personally, I wouldn't have wasted anyone's time- Prime's, this forums, or mine- if I wasn't entirely sure this wasn't more important to me than a cheap buzz.
I haven't needed anyone on my back to keep off that lifestyle. I just decided it wasn't worth it anymore- especially if it was going to prevent me from better opportunities- and I came to that conclusion a long ways back.

But I am way offtopic and if nothing else admire your dedication to safety.

Going back to those habits is not a choice I am willing to make, regardless of this job. I choose not to simply because I don't want to. It isn't hard.
