hmm

Well honesty has been a big thing I've had to look at this week. It is very hard for me to be honest about certain things, especially about how I feel. When I drank I was much more able to simply tell people how I felt. I see alot of active alkies who can't talk honestly about feelings when they are sober and can when they are drunk.

One of the challenges for me in sobriety is that I will have to learn how to be honest with my feelings without a drink. Otherwise I will be likely to use alchohol as a solution to that problem if fI don't learn another solution.

I have also learned this week that I need to look at right speach. right speach requires that I ask myself two questions....is it true and is it HELPFUL.

Just my experience to date....this is an area I have A LOT to learn about.
