Can I Pass a Polygraph by Not Freaking Out and Controlling My Breathing?

Question by : Can I pass a polygraph by not freaking out and controlling my breathing?
Basically I served 9 years in the Marine Corps, I’ve done 4 combat tours..had some issues with depression, alcohol abuse, drug abuse but received treatment through the military…I’ve been sober for almost 3 years now and one of the questions on the polygraph test is “have you done any illegal drugs in the past 10 years”….what if I come into the polygraph thinking that that was my old life and i havent done anything like that in my new life….would that work??? I’m not trying to be shady, I know I made mistakes and everything but I really want to be a police officer, I feel like i’m going to be automatically eliminated if I tell them what happened and I have a family to take care of…please no harsh responses..
