I want to be honest

I want to be honest


I am glad I'm now in the Twelve Step program, a program of honesty. Before, I couldn't admit that I had a problem with chemicals. I kept this and other secrets from others-and myself. Eventually I could no longer tolerate the lies. I realized how much I disliked myself for telling them.

Denail and lying have kept me in my disease. But when I am honest, I am free and I like myself. When I am honest I truly know who I am and others know too. I can look people in the eye. Honesty gives me strength.

From:Today I will do one Thing
