Hi I am considering to apply for PAL but have a question about alcohol. I was addicted to alcohol and being treated by family doctor and specialist to quit completely in order to ensure liver enzymes return to normal. I have been sober for one month. No violence or any criminal history.

Is it possible my PAL application get rejected automatically because of my history ?

Thanks !

Only way to know for sure is apply. You have to include an extra sheet explaining your circumstances.
