Why Do Pilot Wives Need a Podcast - We don’t, but here is why it is helpful. Aviation and the Pilot Wife Lifestyle is a Unique lifestyle. Most people don’t understand the dynamics or the odd way it runs. Schedule assignments. Scheduling and committing to Weddings, and events. Holidays. Having a Plus one on stand by; “Protected time” - something I learned to honor for my pilot when he returned home. And, I learned to not be mad over it!

[EP46]One Pilots Story Aviation Alcohol Addiction Recovery

11/3/2022
Pilots, Alcohol, Aviation and Addiction These are not 4 words that we typically want to associate together. Yet, it's a real thing, and somewhat of a hidden epidemic. Today, David and Chelsey Shaffer step forward to share their story and offer hope and help to other Pilot, Pilot Wives and anyone questioning their own use, or abuse of alcohol. The pandemic not only increased alcohol consumption by 30-40%, but excessive drinking by 21% according to a Harvard study. Watch the Video Here. Alcohol use and abuse is not exclusive to careers nor excluded by some, including commercial airline and other pilots. As I have worked with pilot wives and other clients, these stories often come out, cloaked in fear, shame, guilt and a sense that something is wrong with us. David and Chelsey share some key points: Seeking help and eliminating the fear and stigma The HIMS Program for Aviation The Importance of Knowing How to Navigate Help Strategically and Avoid Pitfalls Probably 4-5 Times the Number of Pilots Actually Need Help Who Are Not in the Program Pilot Wives - We know this involves you, too, and we see it in the Pilot Wife Groups Help is Confidential so No Fear The Fear of Mental Health Disclosure on an Aviation First Class Medical The Recovery Programs WANT You to Succeed No Affect on Future Career or Getting Hired By a Legacy Carrier and Keeping Your Ability to Fly For a Career And, more. David was drinking 6 "Handles" of alcohol a week - a handle of liquor is a 1.75 L bottle of liquor. That means each one has 39 1.5-ounce shots in it. So, we are talking almost 240 shots a week. You do the math. Today, he is well, recovered and helping others! Are you fearful? Curious? Interested in simply exploring your own relationship with alcohol or a loved one?
