HONESTY

Published by cathycouey at 8:52 pm under Addiction Edit This

We, as addicts do not like to be honest.  Many of us have supported our addiction with our ability to lie or stretch the truth.  I know addicts who would rather lie than tell the truth even if they know that you know the truth.  I’m not sure that these people can be helped.  Until you are ready to face the truth about yourself and admit it to yourself and others you are never going to be healthy.  I found myself in a situation that I needed to tell the truth and instead I fibbed.  I felt so guilty afterward that I have not been right for days.  Now that I have went back and made things right with the necessary people I can move forward again.  I have told you from the beginning that honesty is of utmost importance.  Fessing up is good for the soul.  we are not perfect but we must keep striving forward.  Now if you will excuse me for tonight I have a very long talk to do with God.  I must ask His forgiveness and i am sure you will understand.  After tonight we should be back on track and get some really good stuff in the next couple of days.  TELL THE TRUTH.
