Lies are a hallmark of early addiction…we lie about addiction to ourselves and others.
Ever caught yourself in a web of lies, especially when it comes to addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'Recovery is Possible', Michael Van Meter sits down with retired FBI agent Frank Runles to unravel the intricate ways we deceive ourselves and others about addiction. Frank, an expert in statement analysis, brings his unique perspective to the table, helping to identify the subtle and not-so-subtle lies that can sabotage recovery.
From lies of omission to outright fabrications, they explore how dishonesty can be a significant hurdle in both early and long-term recovery. They also discuss the cognitive toll of maintaining these lies and the dangerous overconfidence that can develop during long-term sobriety. This episode isn't just about pointing out the problem; it's packed with practical advice on how to recognize and overcome these deceptive behaviors.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Michael and Frank's conversation offers valuable insights and tools to navigate the path to recovery. Tune in for a candid discussion that sheds light on the often-overlooked aspect of addiction: the lies we tell.
