Why revealing is so healing

In AA, there is a slogan that states that to recover, one must uncover. This translates to in order to heal, one must reveal. Truth is the remedy to the lie. Addiction is a disease rooted in self-deception, a lie. To treat this disease, one must apply the remedy of truth. God is truth, everything God does is truthful, and God cannot lie. To depart from the words of God is the very definition of the lie. Revealing the truth about your bad past decisions and the ensuing consequences provides healing from the scars and cuts of tragic events, caused by those horrible past bad decisions. To reveal and expose these events with the truth of testimony provides the treatment necessary to heal the deep-rooted cuts and scars caused by addiction and the addictive lifestyle. To reveal these bad decisions is like bathing a cut in the warmth and healing effects of air and sunlight. Scar tissue is the result of the healing process on a cut to your skin. Recovery and the rewards of recovery are the results of the healing process caused by the application of revealing truth to the deep emotional cuts caused by addiction and its resulting bad decisions. Truth originates from God, and there is no recovery without God. Revealing the truth about your bad past decisions is healing on multiple levels.
