How Do I Deal with Denial?
Accepting the fact that we have pushed ourselves into the abyss of addiction is hard to accept. It is easy to cling to the short-term escape provided by substances because we live in a world where we have trouble navigating through negative emotions.
Acceptance is an important factor in the foundation of your recovery journey. Putting yourself through rehab will be challenging if you are still in denial. It is okay to take it day by day, but recovery is possible, and it is important to heal from the things that have caused you to fall into this abyss. Seeking the guidance of a professional is a good place to start.
