My problem is that I have two DUI's and I don't know how that effects my

fly.

If you are still a practicing alcoholic, the answer is "no".

However, even if you're now sober, I suspect you'll have a hard time getting
your 3rd Class Medical approved.

It seems to be hit and miss. Contact a local AME (aviation medical
examiner) you can find one by looking in the database at
http://www.landings.com and ask their advise/opinion. They are really the
ones that can tell you.
As for becoming a professional pilot... it's hard to say. Given the
large number of people that want to fly and have clean records their
airlines are not likely to go with someone with any DUI/DWI's. Part 135
thou could be a possibility, or becoming a full time CFI. From a
liability standpoint it's a huge risk.
But start buy calling an AME and asking about getting a class III
medical (private pilot) or join/contact AOPA (http://www.aopa.org) and ask
(I'm fairly certain you have to be a member to get advise on medicals
thou).
