The Big Lie

[roverl0616]

Recovery begins for all of us when we decide to try to stop lying to ourselves. All of us knew we were doing this, but none of us were able to do anything about this or even begin to be able to keep ourselves from lying to ourselves and eventuality to everyone. We all had tried to take on doing this, to live our lives based on lying to ourselves, and all of us can spend our entire life doing this and many of us with this problem do, but in the end we'll all wish we hadn't. Recovery is a way for all of us to learn how we can begin to stop lying to ourselves, and everyone else so that we can know the truth about ourselves and be able to face that truth without any of us having to think any less of ourselves for having done so. One of the many promises that we all get from being in recovery is to be able to know the truth about ourselves and to be able to accept that truth, and ourselves as we are, not as we would all like to be like, which is what caused all of us to have to lie to ourselves in the first place.
