Honesty

Honesty in recovery from addictive disease is essential. There are many aspects to honesty about your addiction. Of particular importance is an examination of the negative effects of your drug, alcohol, or other addictive behavior. First of all, you must take an unflinching look at how your addiction has hurt you and those you care about so that you can lay to rest any notion that you can return to your active addiction without devastating consequences. From the pain of uncovering how you hurt yourself and others can come a solid foundation for recovery.
