I'm told that; "in business you are only as good as the last job you did". Doesn't that ring true with us individually as well? If we are known as a drug dealer, thief, liar, prostitute, alcoholic, bulimic, or any other of the hundreds of hang-ups, then it's really hard to try to convince others differently.
If our actions even hint that we still speak or act the way we used to, then our task becomes much harder to convince others that we have indeed changed. Repeating bad behaviour simply causes others to repeat their suspicions of us. Repeating good behaviour confuses those who know us "the way we used to be", and starts to crack the image they once held of us, until hopefully a new trust in us is revealed.
Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices give us the support we need to step out of our old ways of thinking and the courage to successfully continue through life's difficulties.
