Great question! I personally wouldn't mention it to my really close loved ones who don't have chemical dependency issues (might do more harm than good/ cause further emotional pain/ lead to another slip) but getting honest with a close friend who will keep it private is a good idea. The worst thing in my opinion is to not tell anyone and struggle alone. I had a slip about a week ago for a day, and I haven't told my wife, but I did tell a close friend and I'm glad I did because hiding my use is the 'old' me. Someday in the future I will tell my wife but not until the dust settles and I have some perspective on the matter. Best of luck to you!Yo guys what do we think about letting loved ones know when we lapse (NOT relapse fully - have slip ups.) I've had one or two but have kept it on the low because I don't want to create unnecessary anxiety for those around me. It's almost like I had to lapse to remind myself why I quit in the first place. I seemed to slip into some older way of thinking and found myself justifying using only to get "high" and say to myself "wow this sucks, I'm happy I don't do this shit anymore." Thoughts?
