I can absolutely agree with that sentiment. However, being honest with ones self, in a rigorous manner, in the privacy of their own thoughts and feelings, is actually refreshing, yeah?
For public consumption, not so much, lol. It's a personal choice, for sure, about what is or isn't disclosed. And what is or isn't required for quitting drinking too.
As for quality of life issues, that is still a different arena then are private secrets, in my opinion.
