If you're not trusting your therapist enough to tell her what's actually going on in your life, you're probably not getting optimal treatment for you, you know? On the other hand, the therapy is for you, not her. If she's getting after you for smoking pot, for example, you might point out that it's a decision you've made and it's working for you. That is, if it *is* working for you...
Also, whether you are in therapy or not, check out support groups in your area. I go to an ANAD group -- Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders -- and it's amazing: all those things that I was too ashamed to admit I did, and every week it seemed as though someone brought up doing the same things! Better yet, most of the people there would say, "Oh, yeah! Me too!" It's very helpful. Check a site like somethingfishy.org, and see if you can find a support group in your area.
Good luck.
