Honesty is the backbone of our recovery program. Honesty opens us up. It breaks down the walls we had built around our secret world. Those walls made a prison for us. But all of that is now changed. We are free.
Today I am grateful...
- to have joy in living a spiritual life
- that I still have the intense desire to stay sober
- that I only have to do it a day at a time
- that the most elegant things in life are the most simple things
- that my sister is willing to take action
- that today I have the ways and means to do the deal
People who didn’t trust us now depend on our honesty. People who worked hard to avoid us, now seek us out. Self-honesty is the greatest gift we can give ourselves. ~Keep It Simple

self-honesty is something that i'm continually working at. i liked the quote the other day about telling oneself lies, too. today i'm going to work on being honest with myself. thanks for the quote.
Dear Scott,
great post today.
Love you
Two great quotations, as usual.
Honesty does open the cage, doesn't it?
simple things make me the happiest, and I wish I too had a sister.
