Rigorous honesty is the gateway to recovery in SA. At first, I thought that admitting the full extent of my problem and sharing my real history were impossible. What would others think? During Step Five, I confessed a long-held secret to my sponsor. I had expected an overly dramatic moment, but he didn’t overreact, and I also didn’t feel an overwhelming sense of relief. Instead, I felt the simple peace that comes from straightforward, honest disclosure. Through consistently practicing rigorous honesty, I finally found lasting sobriety and peace.
