Honesty

 Lets tell the truth to people. When people ask 'How are you?' Have the nerve sometimes to answer truthfully. Maya Angelou 

I have a lot of answers to how are you? Fine, good, fair to middlin', that don't actually mean anything. They are just rote answers. When I first got sober, I was taught that fine meant, Fucked-up, insecure, neurotic and emotional. And I was! I got a kick out of saying I was fine, when that was the case.
