Honesty as Foundation

Dishonesty and addiction go hand in hand — lying to others and to ourselves is how addiction survives. Recovery begins with honesty: honestly admitting the problem, honestly sharing with counselors and peers, and honestly examining our patterns and motivations. Step One — admitting powerlessness — is the first act of honesty, and every subsequent step builds on that foundation.
