Honesty will help, not hurt, my efforts to live clean and recover.Ģ007-2023, NA World Services, Inc.7 Moses used to take the Tent and pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp. I will practice honesty, even when it is awkward to do so. Just for Today: Today I will honestly embrace life, with all its pressures and demands. But before long, the sound of the truth coming from our own mouths settles any doubts: Honesty feels good! It's easier living the truth than living a lie. Our voices may shake as we test our newfound honesty. Learning to be honest isn't always easy, especially after the covering up and deception so many of us practiced in our addiction.
We continue to apply the principle of honesty each time we are faced with the option of either living in fantasy or living life on its own terms. We apply this principle right from the beginning of our recovery when we finally admit our powerlessness and unmanageability. Honesty is one of the fundamental principles of recovery. Honesty may be uncomfortable, but the trouble we have to endure when we are dishonest is usually far worse than the discomfort of telling the truth. Every time we try to avoid being honest, it backfires on us. Some of us twist our stories as a matter of course, even when we could just as easily tell the plain truth. Many of us try to wiggle out of a difficult spot by being dishonest, only to have to humble ourselves later and tell the truth. " When we feel trapped or pressured, it takes great spiritual and emotional strength to be honest." Just for Today Meditation August 02, 2023
