I Have Been Honest Now
I am finally earning the trust of people I lied to - people who are very important to me, and I feared would never trust me again. Of all the things I hoped for in sobriety, this was one of the most important to me. Apologizing and promising to change wasn't enough. I had done that before. Being completely honest for over a year and a half, and being completely accountable for my own actions, has healed a lot of wounds and restored trust. It's hard to be patient while others come to trust again. Some people maybe never will. BUT - all you can do is your best, and if nothing else, you will trust YOURSELF, and know that you are trustworthy. That's a pretty fine feeling.

Glad YOU are here! Keep coming back here.
What is your plan IRL, in addition? Now is the time for a plan; even if just to go to an AA meeting today. As you feel better, keep taking more action.
Good luck.
