The Honest Truth About How I Stay On Track

🔑 Real Talk: Accountability Requires Brutal Honesty Here’s a truth bomb most people choke on: Accountability only works if you’re honest. Whether it’s with your best friend, your spouse, or your therapist — if you’re feeding them half-truths, you’re wasting everyone’s time. Including yours. When I build friendships — especially as someone in recovery — I’m up front about it: ✅ “You can tell me anything. But when I start screwing up, I NEED you to call me out.” Why? Because in recovery, there are days when your brain will lie to you louder than anyone else ever could. When I go off the rails, my family and friends are my front line. They need to know the real me — the messy, raw me — so they know what to do when I can’t see straight. 👥 Therapists? Same deal. They can’t hand you the right tools if you’re handing them the wrong blueprint. Lie in therapy and you’re paying to stay stuck. So here’s the takeaway: If you want people to keep you highly accountable, you have to be radically honest. You don’t get both ways — you can’t hide parts of yourself and expect real help. 🗣️ Be real. Be raw. Be ready for the hard truth. That’s how you build a support system that actually works. 👇 Drop a comment: Who keeps YOU accountable when you’re off track?
