He has helped me through a lot of trauma in the past but he has outlived his usefulness to me.
I now move in better circles and he is a bit of an embarassment, how do I ditch him without causing myself too much stress.

That's mean, but if I were you I'd keep him as a friend because you never know when you might need him again.
Okay so you've made new friends, but he has always been there for you. So you don't want to hang around with him as much okay, just see him every now and again and send him a text just to see how he's doing. Considering how good he has been to you I think that is the least you can do.
Alternatively you can just stop calling him always be busy when he calls you and I think that after a while he will realise that you are busy and thus he will still be your friend just not one that you hang around with. Should the need for his services be required again you can just ring him and all will be well

so you mean to say that your supposed friend has outlived his usefulness to you? if anything, i think you should be the one that should be an embarrassment. what kind of friend are you? this sounds like it's all about you. i hope this is not to stressful for you. shame on you. with friends like you who needs enemies. just tell him the same way you have told everyone on yahoo." i'm done with you because you have outlived your usefulness to me, i move in better circles and you're a bit of an embarrassment to me. so i don't want this type of stress in my life anymore. oh and by the way happy thanksgiving."

Well the sooner he realises what a fool hes been to ever be your friend the better for him, you are one mean person, you might be moving in what you assume are better circles these days, just remember things can go full circle and you could end up needing this friend, I hope hes moved on too and walks straight past you.

Is this what true friends do/ ditch them after they have stuck with you.
He is probably the only real true friend you will have
just why should you be ashamed of him when he was there for you in a time of need? where was all the ones you seem to want to see not but are embarrassed by him?
They sure were not with you then and he was. suggest you relly think this over before you lose this friend.. maybe you just used him?

I guess I am a little confused. Is it that you are afraid of what your new friends will say? Or is it that you used him, and now you want to throw him away? One thing to keep in mind is that even though your hard time is past you, bad things can always happen to you. I don't know about you but I would want to keep someone like your friend around because he may be of use to you later. Plus being a friend to him is a good way to return the favor.

Cut off all contact, get it over with.
If you can't do that, learn to live with him. He's a man, not a woman, so closure here is not really applicable.
All that being said, if he's stood with you so far, and been a true friend, why ditch him? When the tables turn on you again, he'll be there.

You shouldn't just keep a friend for their 'usefulness' to you.. it should be because he HAS helped you through hard times.. I found when I try to ditch people who have helped me through a lot, because I was moving in a different direction.. I always ended up regretting it, and thankfully, they always forgave me for it..
Even if a friend is embarassing, I don't think you just should ditch them.. Maybe not hang out with them as much.. But thats just my thought..

You are truly a horrible human being, if it wasn't for your old friend being there for you, you probably wouldn't be where you are now! True friends do not come along so easy and he sounds like one hell of a good friend you would not find in anyone else. I'm sure you will be finding out the hard way in life, what goes around comes around you user.

you selfish pig.
your one of the takers in life who sucks everybody dry and moves on. You will probably find that your new friends wont stick around for long with that sort of attitude and you will end up sad lonely old person. And when that happens i hope your friend turns his back on you the way you are on him
