Monday, August 1st - Honest/Dishonest

[majestyjo]

Self-honesty was difficult for me.  I always stuffed my feelings and did whatever I could to avoid the reality of the moment.  When I was 3 years sober I told a friend, "Reality sucks!"  It maybe so, but it is best to stay in it.

When I try to control things, I have to remember that if I have to control it, it is already out of control.  I need to get honest with me before I can be honest with you.  I need to get honest with my God, even though He already knows, He wants me to acknowledge Him and the direction my path is leading.  He is there to help me to change my ways.

Honesty is the best policy.

Hi Jo---I had my computer totally checked out. I have to be honest I was scared when I got that malicious trojan virus
warning while I was in this site. The tech said that I could try again and just see what happens. I don't want to stop doing the chips. I have a honest fear of crashing my computer but I also am honest that I want to keep working the chips so I am going to try again. I won't lie and say I am not nervous! Just see what happens-----Bunnypie

What I was wondering was where you got the virus warning. Where you in the chipping away column. I spoke to Max, but it would help him to know where you found it. It could be isolated to one post.

I didn't want to post one yesterday, but the chips are just as important for me as they are for you. You introduced me to them along time ago and they have been a big part of my recovery.

The virus warning showed up in the coffee shop and the chipping away column. It showed up as soon as I went into the column so now that am here and it hasn't showed up I feel safe to try to post a comment. I am not computer savvy at all and this scares me big time. I want to try to continue as long as I can to come to this site. I am half scared and half determined.-----Bunnypie
