In a powerful and emotional session at the local Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting, Jackie, a compulsive liar and recovering addict, bravely shared his story in a candid exploration of the ""lies we tell ourselves."" Jackie's journey began in an environment filled with fear and rejection. Coming out to his homophobic family was just the first of many trials he faced. In his pursuit of acceptance and love, Jackie found himself falling in and out of relationships, desperately seeking connection yet grappling with an inability to truly love in return. His struggle highlights the often-hidden battles many face in their quest for emotional fulfillment.
