Honesty
This is strictly my opinion and how my recovery works.
In recovery there is nothing more important to me as profound self honesty. If I can't be
honest with myself then I am probably going to be dishonest about many things in my life.
Without self-honesty I don't have a very good start.
Like with sobriety. For me and this is "Me only" , it would be wrong for me to say I am sober
for 1 year because I have not touched alcohol but then still abused other mind altering
chemicals.
Sobriety "For me" is being free from all mind altering chemicals. My mental and spiritual faculties
being completely in tact and not affected in any way by a chemical.
For example "For me" to state I was sober for 1 year but used cocaine up until 4 months ago. I
would be lying. Mainly to myself.
If I am deceiving myself then what is the point?
It would show that I don't have much of a consciense and if I do I am not listening to it.
Will I ever have to take a mind altering chemical such as pain medication at some point in the
future ? Most likely as at some point in everyone's life they are in legitimate pain.
There are people (addicts) who have legitimate reasons to take certain mind altering chemicals
that are prescribed whether it be anxiety, pain etc. who take it as directed. That's not what I
am talking about.
I am talking about self deception and lying to myself and others when the person it really hurts
is myself.
I am talking about self-honesty. I know if I am abusing something or not. Deep down in my heart I
know my own truth.
If there is something preventing me from being honest with myself and others because of pride I
see that as a real problem.
I don't want to just be abstinent, I want to be a better human being, I want to live in
integrity. This is not just about lengths of sobriety it is about self honesty.
If I am uncomfortable with being confronted with my own truth it is probably because I am
living a lie. I don't want to live a lie.
In order for me to grow up spiritually and emotionally I have to listen to my gut!
