I've never seen a job application that asked if you had an addiction so i dont see how its lying to not put that info on there. why put something on an app that will keep you from getting a job - no one is going to want to hire someone they think is going to be unreliable and we all know they would hold a prejudice. My ex always had trouble keeping a job for other reasons and he just said he was working independantly if it was a large gap. sometimes we can phrase things where we're not lying but not relaying personal information.
