    HOW TO ESCAPE DENIAL
     Therapist is trained to help substance abusers come
    to terms with their problems.
     A journal can be extremely helpful for alcoholics in
    denial. They may not even realize how much they
    are drinking and how it is impacting their life.
     Even if the individual is convinced that they are not
    an addict it may still be beneficial for them to
    attend recovery fellowship meetings that will
    resonate with them.

    HOW TO ESCAPE DENIAL
     Talking to people who have already achieved
    sobriety can help an addict see beyond their
    denial.
     If the person is protected in any way from the

    denial.
     Reading educational material about addiction and
