First off, from someone who has been there, good on ya for taking control of your life.

Here's a thread from someone in a similar position viewtopic.php?f=42&t=29376" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

As for me, I didn't list mine as it was nearly 12 years ago.

Good luck.

one thing I have learned when the question ask IN THE LAST 5 years thats what it means ,

IIRC, the online application asks if you have ever received alcohol/drug or psychiatric treatment. I know the statute says 5 years, but the online app asks "ever". A person can be denied for lying on the application, even though if they had answered "yes" they would have eventually gotten approved.
