A New Reality

Alcoholics and addicts have a different reality. The self-deception as well as other defenses (denial, minimization and justification) allow them to annihilate themselves without acknowledging this reality. When sober, it takes quite a while to recover and come to terms with reality. It takes time and much stepwork.
Love and peace,
