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.

Answer by DJ Alski
Two words: Heroin withdrawal… after reading the “most unauthorized biography” of Courtney Love, what else could it possibly be? (Heroin is brown, hence the coral part, and the deer part, aka “deer in the headlights” part, must refer to the pin-point “I’m a heroin addict” pupils Kurt sported; also, the book talks about the runny nose coming from heroin withdrawal.)
Runny nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still havent had my fulfill
In the someday what’s that sound?
Broken heart and broken bones
Think of how a castrated horse feels
One more quirky cliched phrase
You’re the one I wanna refill
Heroin Addiction: The Dangers of Heroin Addiction
Heroin is an incredibly abusive drug that can destroy lives and cause death. Don’t believe me? Here are some examples of celebrities who became addicted to heroin at a very young age and the pain it caused in their lives.
When he was just six years old, Robert Downey Jr. first became addicted to drugs. According to his testimony, he was “surrounded by drugs, and that was the type of home he grew up in.” Amazingly, at age twenty-two he recognize that he had a serious drug problem and went to rehab in 1987. However, the pull of drugs is a hard call to ignore and Downey was arrested three times in 1996 for drug and weapons charges. Jail, rehab, and more heroin all went hand in hand for Downey for many, many years before he finally broke free of heroin, although he says he is still regularly stopped by law enforcement officials. Courtney Love “reportedly used heroin during the early stages of pregnancy with her daughter.” She also was introduced to drugs at a very young age; as a four year old. After being arrested in 2003 she was rushed to the hospital for an Oxycontin overdose. Oxycontin is related closely to heroin. Although Love has been through rehab several times, drug use and legal troubles continues to haunt Love’s life.
