The reading today reminds me of the slogan “you’re only as sick as your secrets”. I think a lot of the damage I caused when I was drinking, I tried hard to cover up and pretend like it didn’t happen, but it still exists in the back of my mind. Looking at my character defects, the ability to rationalize my behavior and the promise to myself that I would never do it again are leading me to think deeply about whom I have harmed and what amends I owe them. But I have to first break my old way of thinking to find the capacity to be truly honest.
