I can only share my experience. For me then when I'm totally honest with myself then I know what needed/needs to be worked on and addressed. As long as I stay true to myself and I know that I am genuinely trying to work on what needs to be worked on then I will be rewarded with peace of mind and things progressing in a forwards positive direction has been my experience. Also, lots of things revealed themselves as I progressed too. My binges were like a reset button on my mind every few days so getting to experience my mind without a reset button brought new issues and stuff to the surface that needed to be dealt with and also a lot of stuff that I didn't experience properly as I was always wrecked.
Peace
