Thumbs up

Until I became Completely honest in all
my affairs then I wouldnt be completely
free and happy in recovery.

I was staying sober for yrs living and incorperating
the tools and knowledge of my alcoholism into
my everyday life to the best of my ability and yet
I remain restless, irritable and discontent for a long
time.

As long as I held onto those little lies or whatever it
was to not be truthful or continue to be decietful,
carry secrets, just so i wouldnt hurt a loved one or
friend, then i would remain prisoner to myself. That
in itself is alot of baggage or weight to carry on my
back for a long time. Sooo much weight that weighs
one down and cripples them for life.

Once I became honest then and only then was I
released from bondage of self. It finally opened
a door to a freedom I had never imagined in all
my 50ish yrs. on Earth.

It can be for anyone looking to experience
happy life in recovery.
