Friendship is best when it includes accountability.

You might think that is too much. He doesn’t………………… and neither does his wife.

·          Progress through addictions is nearly impossible without accountability

·          True friends are the best accountability partners.

·          Friends can speak the hard truths into each other’s lives without that friendship being torn apart.

I’ll look at my gun as if someone has secretly sabotaged it, while my friends are laying on the ground laughing at me while I try to find an excuse for my bad shooting.

  • The ability to laugh at and with one another lightens the atmosphere and sometimes helps the “medicine to go down.”
  • True friends can take the harmless “ribbing” that comes from this closeness
  • Joy does a heart good
