Subject: how do i say THIS?

Dear somebody,
The day on the calender known as August 12 has been ruined for me forever. That is the date my girlfriend and I celebrate as our anniversary, chosen because that was when we had our first date two years ago.
Unfortunately, a few hours before that date, I had an intimate encounter with an ex-girlfriend. After that spontaneous affair, I kept my appointment. I didn't think much about it, because this new woman was into recreational drug use and other self-destructive behaviors, and I so did not anticipate our assosciation going anywhere, let alone having a long relationship with her.
Well, over time she cleaned up her act and she won my affections and we slowly developed into a couple. I, however, failed to relay to her the hideous truth about my reckless and disgusting behavior on that August day. I know I have to come clean, but I am having trouble finding an approach that will be truthful and yet be sensitive to the fact that she has improved herself and put her own sordid past behind.
I can't celebrate another August 12 on the outside and having these disturbing memories on the inside. It is not fair to her, and all of the sentimaentality that an anniversary is supposed to evoke has been marred. I need another perspective,as I am in an excruciating mental state.
