One of the three, I was told - be completely honest with another person in your life.
I took this advice and it helps - mine is a sponsor, but it could be anyone you trust. For me I find value in the age old use of "confession is good for the soul" philosophy.
Keep coming back!
Flynby - you have hit the nail on head for me... Honesty. I was dishonest with myself, and with others, so I drank to numb my conscience. Now , four days into sobriety, I am reaching for the courage just to be honest. To tell the truth, I don't think I've ever made a proper confession about anything in my life.
Maybe its because we are afraid of disappointing those who we trust, or at least those who have trusted us...
