Coming Clean to someone new about an old substance abuse Is a difficult conversation. there are many ways to come about it, although most people do not come clean at all about it. For many people their passed seems shameful. In experience, tools have been developed for coping with the issue as a passed problem when the wound re opens. If you feel that you old problem is something that would make meaningful connection with the new person then It is important to be open an honest, brutally honest. Make sure you are heard and make sure the person respects your life.
