British Citizenship - Drink Driving Conviction in 2015

Hi,
Can someone please help me with my enquiry. I have been living in UK since 2004 and was granted ILR on 10 years basis in January 2015.
In January 2016 I was due to apply for British Citizenship but life took a u turn. I was caught drink driving in November 2015. I attended a court hearing and was banned from driving for 9months. Now 3 years have passed since my DR30 conviction, I have looked on various websites and it states I'm eligible to apply for Naturalisation now. Is that correct?
My 2 children are British and my wife is on spouse visa. Other than drink driving conviction I don't have any other conviction.
I'll really appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance.

We all make mistakes or do things we regret, that is what makes us stronger - learning from the mistakes! Don't be too hard on yourself :)
