The Highest Form Of Intimacy
Truth takes courage.
Truth takes strength.
Truth takes acceptance.
In recovery, most people know the saying, "you're only as sick as your secrets" and it's true.
Addiction is a disease of disconnection.
Connection comes from building bonds with someone.
How do you begin to get close to someone?
By being honest with them - telling them the truth.
Lies will only push those you care about away.
In Knights & Warriors, your ability to be honest with yourself, your coaches, and your partner are crucial to success.
If you can't be honest with yourself right now, take this Recovery Opportunity to ask yourself "what am I scared of by telling/admitting the truth?"
If you didn't have anything planned to do today for your individual recovery, do this 5-15 minute journal reflection and see what comes from it.
You never know, you might have the epiphany you needed to take the action necessary to begin changing the results you're getting right now.
If you do the Recovery Opportunity and are open to sharing, I'd love to hear back from you, Reader, by hitting reply.
Continuing to be of service,
Savvy Esposito

I 100% believe that recovery is possible for anyone who truly wants to recover. I also know from experience that when someone who wants recovery won't do "the thing" they need to do to recover, recovery halts. "The Thing" can look different depending on your history, addiction trajectory, and current situation. The Most Common Blocks (with Recovery Opportunities because I'm feeling extra generous!) Denial When one or both partners are in denial about something that will block progress....
You've most likely heard the saying, "we all have a choice," before. It's true, every single one of us has a choice. In fact, we make hundreds of choices every single day. From the moment you wake up you make a decision to check your phone or not check your phone as the first thing you do. Small choices each day add up to habits over time. To be successful in recovery means to begin making different choices, consistently, over the long haul. Achieving 7.5 years clean meant Jak had to make...
