Real Change Requires Real Change - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

So very true. For me the greatest challenge is rigorous honesty in my relationships. It's difficult for me. In my addiction all I ever thought about was saving my own butt from pain. Any kind of pain. Even the stuff that I knew was going to be good for me in the long run. But I would jettison honesty whenever it was in my own selfish interest. Now I'm learning that real honesty is crucial for quality recovery. And it hurts. It's uncomfortable. And sometimes it's pretty lonely as well. But I know I'm doing the right thing by God. And I guess that's the only thing that matters.
