H.O.W.--Honesty, Openness, Willingness

In recovery, things usually don’t fall apart because we didn’t know enough — they fall apart because we stopped practicing the basics. H.O.W. isn’t clever, trendy, or complicated. It’s simple, uncomfortable, and effective.

Today, Two Sober Guys, we’re talking about H.O.W. Honesty, Openness, and Willingness — and why these three principles are often the first to slip when things start going sideways. We’ll look at how honesty goes quietly before relapse, how openness gets replaced by isolation, and how willingness fades when ego takes the wheel.

This isn’t a motivational talk. It’s a gut check. Are we being honest about where we’re at? Are we still open to direction, feedback, and growth? Are we willing to do what we don’t feel like doing — consistently?

H.O.W. isn’t about perfection. It’s about participation. You don’t have to understand everything to stay sober, but you do have to stay honest, open, and willing. When one of those drops out, recovery gets shaky fast.

If you’re feeling stuck, restless, or quietly disconnected, this conversation might help you spot where things changed — and how to get back to solid ground.
