So about a month ago I had quit smoking pot after a month of smoking weekly, and after seeing the stress it had put onto my girlfriend I had decided it was enough to stop. Well, last Wednesday I had the nastiest headache from a cold I was suffering from, and waiting for my brother to show up to drive me to my dad's, my headache kept growing worse and I decided to smoke with his girlfriend, and other roommates, and my headache went away which was the ultimate goal, and waited till 2 when he came to pick me up hanging out eating smores with his roommates, and never told my girlfriend.

I saw her today, and we hung out at my house with my dad, then we went out to dinner and dropped her off, but i never told her that I smoked. And I honestly feel bad for not telling her, but feel better knowing I'm not letting her go through all that mental trauma, and I just would feel bad if she found out again without me telling her, but I haven't decided if I was only going to make it a one last time, or start up again.

Well, the issue isn't just fessing up to her about this slip. It's about recommitting to your promise to quit. One without the other isn't really useful, admonishment for you guilt isn't a priority, it's recommiting to not smoke.

Although it would make you feel better (maybe) to confess, the goal when you committ is to carry thru. Make a committment to that, and this slip seems less tragic. And stick to it, even when you have a head ache.
