Unmasking Deception: Lying and Addiction Recovery with Dan and KB

Lying often starts when you do something wrong... It's important to understand the motivation beneath the lie right, and then it's also important to respond to the lies in ways that help people tell the truth or otherwise further your aims, right.
Why do we lie, especially when we're struggling with addiction? In this episode of The Sober Highway Podcast, Dan and KB dig into the intricate world of deception. They break down the four types of lies, from white lies to self-deception, and discuss why people lie and how it impacts recovery. Lying isn't just about covering up mistakes; it can be a way to gain esteem or even help others, sometimes at the cost of our own well-being.
The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding these motivations and fostering honesty as a cornerstone for personal growth. Dan also shares his own challenges with ADHD and memory, adding a personal touch to the discussion. This episode is a deep dive into the art of lying, offering listeners practical advice on how to confront and overcome deception in their own lives.
If you're on a journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this conversation provides valuable insights into the role of honesty in healing.
