#15 Back to a cautious piecing

[SteveLW]

Hey everyone, appreciate the perspectives. I guess the thing is that my W claims she wouldn't care as long as it isn't a PA. Not sure I trust that.

I do believe that sins of the past should not prevent you from speaking out against those sins now. I've admitted to being an alcoholic when I was younger (25 years sober BTW), but now I still speak out against alcohol at every chance I get. Paul denied Christ during the crucifixion but then later accused the Jews in Jerusalem of denying Christ. I do not see past sins as making one a hypocrite. Now if I was actively in an EA today, and was confronting my W or others about their EA, then yes I would be hypocrite.

I am not saying anyone is wrong either. I do not think you are wrong if you think I should come clean, nor if you think I should bury it. I see merits in both. Mainly I wanted the truth out here on this forum. I almost came clean a few times before but never did because admitting even past faults can be difficult. But I wanted you all to have full perspective on this.
