How Long Should You Wait to Tell a Potential Love Interest That You Used to Be a Drug Addict?

Question by Andarin: How long should you wait to tell a potential love interest that you used to be a drug addict?
I’ve been talking to a guy on-line that really seems to like me and he said that he’s never done drugs.
I used to be a heroin addict, for 6 months, 2 years ago. I put myself into a hard-core program and have been clean for 2 years.
I’m wondering how long I should wait to tell him this. I am fortunate to have no health issues as I have been tested multiple times but its still info that someone would probably want to know.
I don’t know how to break it to him.
I got involved with drugs when my fiance (at the time) introduced me to them when I lost my parents, my grandfather and a very close friend all very suddenly.
