Hello! Long time lurker here and first time poster looking for some advice regarding flying professionally and some mistakes i made while younger.
Basically here is the situation: I am 25 years old with a private pilot certificate and a 1st class medical. Currently working as a roofer and making OK money. I am also about half way done with my instrument rating. However, i have had some issues in my past that i really need some advice on.

I have multiple speeding tickets from when i was a teeneager, a misdemeanor for driving on a suspended drivers license, an open container ticket, and when i was 20 was charged with poessesion of a controlled substance (adderall).

I fought really hard to beat the rap, got a lawyer and end result is no convictions, just the speeding tickets .ive been a perfect citizen since, and try to put this all behind me but it is hard.

Now before you all crucify me, let me say this...I accept completely the decisions I made and, yes Ive searched similar threads and already have a general idea of my situation and what that means for an aviation career. However every situation is different and If i can get any advice here its worth it.

For what its worth, i joined AOPA, got advised by an Aviation Attorney and have had no issues with my medical. I am healthy physically and mentally and have no dependence issues or anything like that. Ive thought this over and over and taken a step back and still think aviation is for me . I feel great flying, got my license at low hours, etc and feel confident inside the airplane. I just dont know if these things will come back to haunt me.

So what do you guys think? I know a major might not be in my cards and i accept that. What about the FAA, could they one day ground me for this stuff? Could I have any chance at a regional one day?

Thanks so much and fly safe out there...
