FWIW, I would recommend telling your mom the truth. It has been my experience that even little secrets keep up sick and I can tell you feel guilt about lying to your mom. You are sober now, and that is what counts, she will be proud of you either way, and maybe she will even see you are working a strong program if you come out with the truth.

you’re right, 100%. “its the little secrets that keep us sick”.. you’re right. i am sober, it shouldn’t matter when it happened. i was going to wait til i was clean a year but why should that matter? she’s going to take it how she’s going to take it, hopefully she won’t even care. it probably hurts me more knowing that she was helping me and i was still using.

my mom is coming over for dinner tomorrow, i will tell her then. she has put up with me through my WORST, this information shouldn’t phase her at all… i hope.

thank you so much, really. you just pushed me a step forward
