Hi,
I'm glad you're back.
As far as telling people in your life about your addiction, it depends. Are these people who would support you? In my case, I told no one. I had let my family down so many times with my attempts to stop, I knew I just had to do it and not talk about it. Anyways, I think it's a very personal decision and I tend to be a private person.
I hope you have a good day!
