Well I've known this girl stephanie for about two years I've dated her before but we broke up due to my past drug use problem I've cleaned up my act, but its been about one year since I've talked to her. I've tried dating other girls but time and time again I find myslef not happy, I really think I love this girl, and I would give anything just to have her in my life again, I'm afraid that if I contact her she'll think I'm like a stalker or something like that, and I'm not I just really want her back, I really screwed our relationship up in the past and I am hoping things will go well if I talk to her again... any advice?

If you were doing hard drugs during your time with her she will never trust you again. Every time the two of you have a fight over something silly she might blame it on your past addiction which might push you back into it again. She is a trigger

Since you don't know, ask. If it goes well great, if not take a hint and leave her alone.

She will not be the only female you will be attracted to.

Often the memory of someone is better than the real relationship. But you may have burnt that bridge behind you. All you can do is talk with her, see if she is seeing anyone else, and tell her you have changed. She may not feel that way and you will have to learn to let go and move on.

Yeah, listen to the advice you get here, everything seems pretty solid.
