We're going to start out by saying that I am probably one of the crappiest liars you'll ever meet. It's true! I know it! I can't keep a straight face! You should play poker with me; I table talk like nobody's business. It's sort of the running joke in my family. The way I lie is to leave out information, because if I start telling a falsehood, I know that 95% of the time, I'm going to get caught.
There are two people I always tell the complete, whole, and utter truth to. On is my boyfriend. He needs to know he can trust me, he needs to always be aware of what's going on, and he needs to know how to best help me. I am always very blunt and straightforward with him, and I know he appreciates that. No "mincing words".
The other person is my therapist. This is because I don't believe in half ass-ing therapy. If you walk into therapy and give it 60% or 70%, or even 90%, you are not going to get anywhere or get anything done. You are wasting your time, your therapists time, and a shitload of money.
I have always given therapy 100%. When the time comes that I can give less than that, I will give 0 and quit.
Recovery isn't something you can half ass or do half way. Put your all into it. That's the only way progress will be made.
