I am a recovering alcoholic, and whether it was the original intent or not, Policy of Truth spot-on resonates with me to the hard but bitterly true realization the addict makes that they genuinely have a problem. Morning after morning, so many of us have said, "Never again" only to go out drinking one more time, in spite of everything we swear to ourselves. Repeating the line "Never again is what you swore the time before, never again is what you swore the time before" makes it feel like that pattern that we live as addicts. So we run away into the concealment of trying to hide our problem from those around us, which only makes it worse. "It used to be so civilized"; we yearn for the days when we were young and it didn't matter, wishing dumbly that we could have kept our problem on that level, but addictions invariably get worse if they aren't treated. The bitterest part of accepting your problem is realizing that you now need to face your demons; "You'll see your problems multiplied" as you honestly confront how you may have cheated or lied or stolen because of addiction and, harder still, as you try to make things right as a result. But this is what you need to do once you've made this decision to be true if you want the recovery to have any chance of sticking.
