Decisions about recovery disclosure need to consider the effect of disclosure on ones sense of self and the stability of ones recovery. Disclosure effects exist on a continuum. At one end of the continuum, recovery disclosure can be a means of needed self-assertion--shedding addiction baggage via creation of a new and valued self-identity--and as an act of service to others. At the other end of the continuum, recovery disclosure could lead to ego-inflation and a destabilization of recovery via increased narcissism and grandiosity. The stakes of recovery disclosure are important and thus deserving of careful consideration.
