Facing Denial and Delusion: Insights from Recovery Central Episode 14

Drunkenness is nothing but voluntary madness. Yeah, that quote is Years old, so it predates everything we know about alcoholism now, and it's completely true, and it's completely on the money. And alcoholic insanity doesn't necessarily involve me picking up a drink.
Denial and delusion are two formidable foes on the path to recovery, and this episode of Recovery Central takes them head-on. The hosts of Flat Out Recovery bring their signature mix of humor and raw honesty to explore how addicts and alcoholics often grapple with 'not knowing', turning minor issues into monstrous problems. This isn't just about the struggles, though; it's also about the small victories and moments of clarity that come along the way.
You'll hear stories that highlight the impact of addiction on family dynamics and the importance of community support in the recovery journey. There's even a bit of light-hearted fun with Reg the cat's latest escapade involving a Spandau Ballet costume. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, this episode underscores that recovery is an ongoing process filled with both challenges and hope. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of addiction and find some laughter along the way.
