Denial is a state where you deny or distort what is really happening. You might ignore the problem, minimize people’s concerns or blame others for any issues. In terms of addiction, whether it’s to alcohol or gambling, denial is a powerful coping mechanism to delay facing the truth. Unfortunately, overcoming denial is not an easy process. It was often thought that people with addiction had to “hit rock bottom” before they could begin to cope with the reality of their problems. This gave the person an opportunity to accept the situation, begin to seek help, and move forward. However, we now know that we can intervene earlier before a person reaches this state of despair. There are other methods that can help end denial by stressing reality, such as, therapy: An addiction therapist can help people face their problems. We are here to help.
