No more pretending. No more lies.

My friend Julie is nervous. Because I put the emphasis on being truthful. Going naked into the world. Having nothing to hide. Julie sees that as a privacy issue. She wants to protect her privacy. And not let anyone know that she's a drinker. An addict. And that she's in depression. In dire need of psychotherapy. I encourage Julie to face up to her personal calamity. And to admit. To herself. And to others. That she needs help. No more pretending. No more lies. --Jim Broede
