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!”
