Many addicted people are expert at \u2018getting away with things.\u2019 For example, blaming others for our situation is usually a form of dishonesty to ourselves because we cannot face the reality that we are responsible for the choices we make. Denial of the severity of our illness is another example. Unless we can get into the habit of being rigorously honest with ourselves in every way, then no amount of courage or positive action is going to help us stay sober because we will be starting from a position of unreality. Will I be honest today in all my affairs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\"><strong>Honesty demands courage. So often in the past, we may have chosen the softer, easier way because we were not brave enough to stand up for the truth. In recovery, we have to change. Where do we find that courage \u2013 from our Higher Power, who acts through other people &#8211; the support and example of our brothers and sisters in recovery. I ask God today for strength in my weakness, courage in my fear and fellowship in my isolation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\"><strong><em>Today I Will\u2026<\/em>\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View VIDEO on facebook https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100094027278120 Follow on TikTok Videos at https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@recoverydays?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc * April 4 * Remember Mindfulness \u2013 Close eyes briefly Honest in all my affairs Absolute honesty requires constant attention.
