E83: From Denial to Disclosure: The Importance of Honesty in Recovery From Alcoholism

E83: From Denial to Disclosure: The Importance of Honesty in Recovery From Alcoholism

2024-04-07
Download

Honesty is one of those topics that seems pretty simple and clear cut at first, but starts getting a little squirmier the more you dig into it. There's layers there, too. Many of us tend to think we're pretty honest folks, but as we work more and more on our recovery, we start recognizing areas of our lives where we'd actually been quite dishonest... and that's especially true when it comes to being honest with ourselves. We've invited three inspiring people in long term recovery to come chat with us, and reflect on how honesty has played in a role in their recovery from alcoholism... and how that's evolved over the course of time. Listen as we talk with Kenny, Emily, and Adam and get real about honesty.

 

"Recovery meant getting honest with myself about my contentment and quality of life. I had to realize I was settling for less than my full potential."

In this episode:

  • Honesty with yourself - and how that evolves with greater self awareness
  • Excuses and lies of omission
  • Using lies to hide and cover up addictions, imperfections, mistakes and flaws
  • Dishonesty and perfectionism
  • Advocating for yourself as a part of honesty
  • Recognizing the physical reaction that happens when you are dishonest
  • How ego applies to honesty
  • Understanding - and getting honest about - underlying subconscious beliefs
  • The freedom that comes with living an open and honest life

"I always believed it was okay, as long as I didn't get caught."

Adam Head spent the majority of adulthood running from a life that he found unfulfilling by drowning it in vodka and peppermint schnapps. This eventually landed him in the hospital with a diagnosis of acute alcohol induced liver failure. Fast forward through five rehabs, hundreds of meetings and a divorce, and he still found himself drinking. Until he discovered CBT, Spirituality, and the power of identity. He now lives a life he describes as overflowing with joy and is "effortlessly sober."
