Once I entered recovery for being an alcoholic I suddenly began thinking about the past when I used to lie to my family to receive money that I would then use on drugs and alcohol. I deeply regret those actions.
How many times have you lied to your family?
I've lied to my family many times.
It's great that you're in recovery for your addiction issues. As part of your recovery, you should make amends to your family. You should own up to your mistakes and ask for their forgiveness of your past transgressions.
Screw my family. They should be thankful that I'm not going to make them pay for my reckless actions anymore.
I am sure that they are thankful that you're getting better, as you should be too. Lying to your family was horrible and I am glad that you were able to start getting help for it.
