Mormons and drug addiction?

Question by Follow-the-narrow-gate: Mormons and drug addiction?
So I am planning on getting baptized into the LDS church. I have told them I smoke and I am attempting to quit.

I am a recovery addict and no longer use drugs… should I tell the missionaries about this, or does it really matter?

It doesn’t matter.

Baptism is a rebirth and you are cleansed from all sin when you are baptized. So your past doesn’t matter.

If you promise and covenant to keep the word of wisdom that suffices.
