I recently wrote an article for an on line magazine called Holl and LaneThe article was published a couple of days agoAnd was entitled 'Inside the mind of an addict' It was basically my story From childhood To now And everything in between It was a long article And even though it has just been published I wrote it and submitted it back in OctoberSo reading it yesterdayWas like reading it for the first timeAs I read through it Some thing suddenly struck meAnd hit me like a brick to the headAm I over sharing?Am I telling too much about my life?Am I leaving myself open and vulnerable?Am I doing the wrong thing?Is there a reason why most people don't air their dirty laundry?After I finished reading the articleI felt utterly naked and exposedI wanted to take the article back And submit a nice polished fairy story of my life With a neat little ending where everything turns out okAnd I marry the prince who saved me from myself 
As you know I don't write an awful lot about my family I mention my mom and sister a lot And my sisters depressionBut I try not to write about my family too much In this particular article I wrote a little bit about growing upAnd I can't write about growing up without talking about the addiction in my homeThe unhappy place it was to beAnd the tyrant my father wasBut now I feel guilty about writing about himBecause he's not like that anymore He has changed Markedly soI don't want to point the finger at himAnd blame him for all the shit my family has been through But at the same timeI have to be honest And tell my truthMy account of my own life 
But I wonder Am I being too honest?Should I really be writing so explicitly about my life?Will it come back to haunt me in the future?I mean I give a full and frank account of my life here And I really don't know what other way to tell my story I don't write anonymously Heck there's big ass photo of me on the front of my blog!I don't know
With all that saidI was wondering about youWhat do you think about honesty while blogging?Do you think we should hold back and preserve our dignity?Or are you in favour of telling all?Inquiring minds want to know.....
