Welcome, Lazarus!
I'm glad you found us.
I'm sorry about your legal situation, but I hope that you are sober and recovering now.
I'm not sure there are Yes or No answers for your problem. If you're talking about finding a job in a specific field, I think it depends on the job. One thing that is often discussed here is whether or not to be fully honest in a job application because many applications ask if you have been arrested. Personally, I think it's important to be up-front when you are job-searching.
