Another Pilot here in a similar situation. Have not had a sip of alcohol in close to three years and had a positive (274ng/ml!) come back from a finger prick test. Have been under a monitoring program for over two years now and never had a positive. Went and took another blood test (intravenous) 16 days later and it came back negative. Also had a nail-ETG test done 28 days later and it came back negative. Something is wrong, lost my medical, its like a bad dream that wont stop.

@toolsd @clearofclouds1234 we need a whole separate thread on this. Lost my first class in 2014. 11 negatives, one positive (21ng). HIMS AME recommended 30 days inpatient which myself and those around me thought was absurd. I moved on from flying but havent been able to move past it as you can tell...
