Here's my question: I have been clean for quite a while now, (I'm on the wall of honor B"h) and I have a few older guys (one of them is my Rebbe) who I talk to whenever I need some help (not so often). I am in Yeshiva B"h, and have a good chevra. I feel like I'm at the point where I need to tell one of my friends so that I can be accepted by someone who knows my whole story. None of them know, they think I'm a really shtark guy. But I feel like I need one guy who is my age that I can talk to, and have a friendship with, without any lies. Do you guys think it is a good idea, and a normal feeling to have? If I do go through with it, I already picked out the guy. I think this is connected to the 5th step: "Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs."
So good idea or not?

Usually those who aren't struggling in this area have trouble understanding us... Maybe your rosh yeshiva can advise you if this friend is appropriate.
Your idea is a good one, though. Just wanna make sure it's helpful For you.

Keep us posted.

Hi Yoni!!!

I think what Menachem wrote is the best advice.

If you are addicted, you do not wanna trust your mind and your decisions.
I know that for myself.
Bring a professional in to help you decide.
Perhaps your R"Y - if he is familiar with these things.

b'hatzlachah

Actually, I've heard of that idea, to tell someone, and supposedly it helps. I haven't done it myself, but from what I've heard, it can be very beneficial. Hatzlacha!
