Ahhhh
“We are only as sick as our secrets.” Much relief comes once you are open and honest about your situation.
Those are the people you're supposed to tell. Don't be ashamed. This is a process. Everyone works it differently. Don't accept relapse as "okay", because then you normalize it, but don't be ashamed. Get clean and stay that way, what didn't work last time? Start there, make changes.
So you drank or used and your an addict? Try not to be too hard on yourself. I would tell my doctor too I was quitting. Detoxing can be dangerous depending on how much you were using. And it will be no fun so you only want to do it once. Relapsing prolongs the pain.
The truth will set you free! Even if you continue to use, your mind will be in a healthier place in one way by not holding onto this tension. You deserve to be happy. 
Honesty (even though it’s not always my favorite thing) is usually the best in these circumstances—had I not told my sponsor about my last relapse, I wouldn’t have been able to ask for help when I needed it most.

Maybe tell someone else?Relationships are two-ways. If you feel you can’t depend on someone right when you needed to the most, it could be something on thier end…
