Honesty: The Bedrock of Addiction Recovery with Debbie Strand

If I know that I'm doing the right thing, I know I'm living a spiritual life. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.
Ever wondered why honesty is so crucial in the journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'Sober in the City', host Debbie Strand and her guests dig deep into the role honesty plays in addiction recovery. They share personal stories and insights that highlight how being truthful—both with oneself and others—can pave the way to a healthier, sober life.
Debbie believes that knowing you're doing the right thing helps you live a spiritual life, and that other people's opinions shouldn't sway you. This episode brings to light how dishonesty, often a survival skill learned in tough environments, can entrench addiction. One guest recounts how lying to boost self-esteem spiraled into covering up his addiction, while another shares the struggle of being honest after years of deceit.
Through their candid conversations, you'll learn about the fine line between rigorous honesty and brutal honesty, and why being mindful of your words is essential in recovery. Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable lessons on the power of honesty.
