Thanks. That was some pretty powerful advice and actually helped me quite a bit.
@the other two posters...
I'm not trying to sound like a rebel or a sinner trying to justify his way out of a confession, but what is the point of it all? What is the point of confessing it to the Bishop? I can see talking to him for help for an addiction, but in reality he is going direct you to the LDS addiction recovery program. So if you stopped looking at it, what is the point of telling your Bishop about it? I just don't see the point in it all.
Also, of course it's shameful and secret, as are many sins. If you steal a candy bar from a store and feel ashamed and want to keep it a secret, does that mean you are a kleptomaniac? That's not the best example, but I think that most sin that people commit, especially when they know it's a sin, makes them feel ashamed and want to keep it from people but doesn't necessarily make them addicts.
