Denial and the Shift

from Chaos to Clarity: A Recovery Podcast · host Brittany Bailey

Nobody wants to admit when using stops being a choice and starts being a need. In the beginning, everyone says it's a choice. "I'm just having fun. I'm good." That's the lie we all start with. But there's a shift that happens. You're not using to feel good anymore. You're using so you don't feel sick, anxious, angry, empty. You wake up already needing it. That's the shift. In this episode, we talk about denial, the moment everything changes, and the way back.💬 Join our Facebook group for support, fellowship, and connection with others in recovery
