Honesty is the key. When we start lying or hiding we open ourselves up to all kinds of trouble.personally, when i find myself starting to lie or hide i stress and stress opens me up to craves and craves make me weak and weakness leads to drink. Be honest and don't worry about what other people think of you. That is their problem, not yours. Being honest with yourself and others is the healthiest way to live and the one most likely to keep you sober.
