A New Reality

Posted by: drbutkins in alcohol addictionaddiction recovery on Print PDF

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,

Docpete, the imperfect therapist
