psychology of person under denial
We frequently confronted with the fact that we all lie upto some extent.
This type of dishonesty is far harder to detect and admit.
It is the kind of lying that comes from not being psychologically strong enough and the biggest obstacle to living a fulfilling life and a type of denial mechanism.
We lie to ourselves about how much we really drank today.
We lie to reflect or try to maintain social appropriateness even though we are drunk.
We feel guilt and think that it will reduce us furthermore if we show our addiction and its manifestation in our life.
We may be asking yourself, “Why should I care about this self-deception? How it benefits me?”
But, no matter what the cause is of the denial, the important part is that the addict confrontation defence mechanism.
Many times an addict will lose a job, friends or family relationships because of the addiction and start to face the denial issues because their lives truly have become completely unmanageable.
Denial in addiction is not a linear course, either. The addict may be in denial at some times and facing reality at others times, so addiction in denial may be fluid especially in the beginning stages of recovery. Even for those who are far along the recovery path, One slip up and denial can strike at any time and will need to be overcome once again to get back on track.
