ESSAY October 2024 - H.O.W.—Ow! - Richard D., Scotland, UK

Early in recovery, it was instilled in me that, in order to recover, I need to be H.O.W. (Honest, Open-minded, and Willing).  Without honesty, I am left only with OW! [for many English speakers, this is what we say (or yell) when we get hurt]. I am focusing more on honesty now because I’m tired of the pain that results without it (the OW!). Please pray for me, the fellow at the door, and anyone who wants our solution.
