I
didn't realize how dishonest I was before I entered recovery. I had half-truths
and misleading by omission down to a fine art, and by the end of my drinking
and using I was even good at deceiving myself. I didn't know it then, but the
practice of being rigorously honest was the cornerstone of my recovery, and
without it I never would have gotten clean.
Another thing I didn't realize before recovery was how
intolerant I was of other people, places and things. Once I began looking at
myself, I found that my first reactions were to judge, reject and condemn
others. What I discovered was that my intolerance was a defence mechanism
covering my deep feelings of inferiority and shame, and it wasn't until I
discarded these that I began to live comfortably in my own skin.
