Denial - More of Living in the Lie

Well, hello folks.  We’re back.  Thank you guys for your patience with our absence.  We got a lot of ground to make up so let’s get right to it.

Denial:  A person's refusal to admit or accept that he or she has an addiction problem

According to the Mayo Clinic staff, “If you’re in denial, you’re not being realistic about something that is happening in your life-something that might be obvious to those around you.”

Have you ever wondered why some people have shied away from you? Do you get tired of hearing that you are selfish or that you’re lazy or that you are a worthless bum?  Are you tired of being asked “where have you been,” “why are you late,”  “what have you been doing,” etc?   Do you feel that everyone is down on you, out to get you or that everyone else is wrong?

How about the “no one understands me,” “Why can’t people just leave me alone,” “I’m not hurting anybody,” “it’s my business,” etc? 

Do any of these sound familiar?  If so, then it’s a good bet that you are in denial about something in your life.

I mean, seriously, do you really think that everyone is wrong?  Have you ever honestly considered that they have a reason to ask and/or point out these things?

I know and realize that it is possible for us to not see ourselves at times.  However, I also realize that if we are having problems and if folks are on us and bringing up stuff, then we really need to take a look in the mirror and come to grips with who and what we see.

So, taking off the gloves here folks, if you can’t get real and be honest, rigorously honest, then You Have a Zero Percentage for Success in Recovery.  It is what it is!  And until you come to terms with your issue(s) you will continue to progressively get worse. Period!

Join us next time as we conclude denial.  Thanks again for your patience.

Until then ….. be sure to tell a friend about us.
Thanks for visiting us - come back soon!


Remember: “It is what it is and “it ain’t nothing but a thing!”
