Ideally yes. But I will say I was quite the stoner for many years while my kids were young. Ideally I wouldn't have been. To me it made more sense to Be honest than to hide it. I think I managed to still be a good father even though I wasn't my best self. I have since let go completely finally. Just reflecting now.

I think being honest is important but what is best for your kids is to just do better. They look up to you and follow your example.
