Your advice is great and I have just remembered how proud of myself I was for recovering. I am going to try and trust my instincts a little and be true to myself, because I want the second type of people around! Thank you!

Both ways have merit I believe. When recovering I think you can gain alot of personal power from being totally honest. While some people may not be able to handle that, others will see you as strong and have admiration for you. Those are the only people you want around. And yes - the other way is to just concentrate of what's there & I think that can be an excellent idea in the early stages of getting to know people too. It's selective but I don't believe dishonest - you are being protective of yourself and no-one should deny you that. My best wishes go to you!

And yes – the other way is to just concentrate of what’s there & I think that can be an excellent idea in the early stages of getting to know people too. It’s selective but I don’t believe dishonest – you are being protective of yourself and no-one should deny you that.

My best wishes go to you!
