Pilots with history of recreational drug use.Do I stand a chance?

Hello

I've realised that I really want to be a Pilot and that there's nothing else I'd imagen doing but there's a slight problem I'm worried about.I've been using extacy and speed recreationally on the weekends for a year or so and haven't touched it for over 2months now.The only excuse I have is that I was young and dumb.My parents would be ready to sponsor my training as long as they see that I'm commited.They obviously aren't aware of my past drug use and there's no need for them to.I want to become and airline Pilot and I am ready to put in 100%.I've told my GP about my drug use, so will that come up on my medical when applying to airlines if I don't mention it?
I did my year 12 with satisfactory results but I don't posses the Qantas maths requirement.

thank you
