I attended to a great meeting recently, it was all about rigorous honesty. Individuals having their first attempt in Alcoholics Anonymous and even quite a lot  that have been in for a while, imagine you should have right now, this extremely developed amount of rigorous honesty. I think we must be sensible concerning this. Just what drunk no more than one day sober is actually able to be rigorously honest regarding nearly anything?

I do think rigorous honesty will come about as a process. As we go to meetings, have a discussion with other alcoholic's, attend meetings, learn the Big Big Book and the Big Book, show up at meetings, pray and meditate, as well as show up at meetings, do our very best to get as straightforward as attainable that day. Then tomorrow, when we attend a meeting we can get all the more rigorously honest.

Did I bring up the importance of going to meetings? You might not be able to end up being especially honest however , you can show up at meetings and learn to become honest.

That's been my practical experience anyway. That is to say my own own experience in AA was that I grew in honesty as I grew in sobriety. That has also been my observation for over a decade. I've witnessed individuals come in and I might understand they were not necessarily being entirely honest.

I think that perhaps they were being as honest as they could be. As time went on I would see them either increase in their ablity to be honest, or keep on lying and go out and get drunk.

I don't believe in my entire AA career I have seen anybody be continuously dishonest and stay sober.
