[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 686559, member: 20267"] If he isn't willing to be entirely honest, I'd say he is still missing the most crucial part to recovery, and that is humility. If he continues to embelish his childhood stories with nonsense, he hasn't learned humility. Honesty is so very crucial in those kinds of settings. One of the main reasons AA and NA are anonymous is to provide people a forum where they can tear down the many layers of bullshit present in all addicts' minds, and truly get to the core of the problems. This means accepting responsibility for our actions, and laying it all out there, bare, as it really is. Not what it seems like to the drug induced mentality. I told every lie in the big book of addict lies. Your son has, too. Maybe he made that stuff up in order to garner sympathy from people who will then help him continue his usage, or maybe he is doing it to skirt responsibility. Maybe it's both. Either way, he will eventually need to accept reality. [/QUOTE]
