honesty
Posted: Mon, Aug 2, 2004 05:18:45 AM
this has always been a big issue for me. in active addiction it was how much of the truth can i tell and get away with it, since i was always a poor flat-out liar.
in recovery, the turn has been how much of what i am feeling can i really show. for me it was more important to look good rather than let on i was not feeling good. now i am becoming more honest in how i deal with my peers and those with whom i share my life. i believe that before now, although i would try in vain to disguise my inner self, they saw through the facade and just were polite or too itimidated by me to say anything.
anyhow, today,honestly i feel good and maybe i actually look good too!
