How do you believe that affects your strength and stability? Do you wish you could be more open than you are?
I was told - learned from others to do three things to stay sober. One of which was be completely honest with one other human being.
Confession is as old as time and very healing. As humans I think sometimes we think were the only one who did xyz...........
For me I need to be honest with my family/loved ones. However, they do not need to hear all the jazzzz I did just to make myself feel better. Getting stuff off my chest so to speak.
Also, being honest about our loved ones defects to them is not part of live and let live - brutally honest is cruel!
