Loyalty is one of the most misunderstood principles in recovery. A lot of us came in with backwards loyalty — loyal to the wrong people, the wrong habits, the wrong beliefs, even the wrong version of ourselves. We confused loyalty with attachment, with people-pleasing, or with tolerating behavior that was destroying us.
Real loyalty looks different. Real loyalty is alignment — with truth, with growth, with responsibility, and with the person you’re trying to become. Recovery asks us to reshape where our loyalty goes: not to the chaos we came from, but to the integrity we’re building now.
In today’s Daily Trudge, we break down:
- What loyalty actually means in recovery
- The difference between loyalty and enabling
- Why loyalty to unhealthy people keeps us sick
- How to stay loyal to your principles instead of your pain
- Loyalty to self: the part most people skip
- Why emotional sobriety requires loyalty to truth over comfort
- How loyalty grows connection, trust, and humility
Loyalty isn’t about sticking around no matter what. It’s about showing up honestly, consistently, and responsibly — for your recovery, for your people, and for the life you’re building.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang.
