Denial is how we lie to ourselves. It is a psychological defense mechanism that prevents the alcoholic from seeing the truth of what they are doing to themselves.
Denial isn't just a river in Egypt; it's a common hurdle in the journey to sobriety. In this eye-opening episode of the 'Soberful' podcast, hosts Veronica Valli and Chip Somers tackle the tricky topic of denial and its role in addiction. With nearly 50 years of combined sobriety, these two are no strangers to the mental gymnastics that come with avoiding the truth about one's drinking habits.
They break down the various ways denial can show up in our lives, from subtle self-deception to outright refusal to see the damage being done. But it's not all doom and gloom. Veronica and Chip offer practical tips for breaking through these barriers, setting boundaries, and taking those crucial first steps toward recovery. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or trying to support a loved one, this episode is packed with valuable insights and real-life advice.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how denial works and how you can confront it head-on.
