Through The Glass Recovery Podcast
Education:Self-Improvement
Let's chat about the importance of honesty in recovery. Have you ever hidden a bottle of alcohol from your partner and worried all day that they’d find it? Told someone you’d quit drinking, but just hid it from them instead? Have you ever told the hair dresser you love your new style, when inside you’re cringing?
Honesty seems easy… until we really get honest with ourselves. In this episode, we talk with Brian, Antje, and Michal, with special guest Corina, about honesty in recovery. Most of us consider honesty to be an important value in our lives, but the more we dig into it, the more we realize the places where we tend to be more dishonest than we thought – lying to make others feel better, lying by omission, lying to ourselves. Listen as we dig into honesty, and talk about some of the areas we struggle, and what we’ve learned.
Other areas of honesty in recovery that we discuss in this episode include:
“Awareness of the problem is the first step to the solution.”
In the introduction to the topic, Julie mentions the book Rewired by Erica Spiegelman. Rewired is the book that Julie used to jump-start her recovery journey, and reinforces the importance of honesty in recovery. For more information about the book and the author, visit www.ericaspiegelman.com
