Denial is a tricky thing. It's not just about lying to yourself or others. It's about maintaining a certain level of cognitive dissonance that allows you to continue using despite the consequences. But once you learn to recognize and address your denial, you can start to make real progress in your recovery journey.
Denial can be a sneaky and powerful force, especially when it comes to addiction. In this episode of the 'Red Roof Recovery' show, host Tanya McIntyre opens up about her own struggles with denial during her years of battling drug and alcohol addiction. Alongside co-host Lance, Tanya dives deep into how denial kept her trapped in harmful patterns and what finally pushed her to seek recovery.
The conversation isn't just about personal stories; it's packed with practical advice and strategies for anyone facing similar challenges. From understanding different models of addiction recovery, like cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and the 12-step program, to the importance of setting SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound), this episode is a treasure trove of insights. Tanya also highlights the role of journaling and daily inspiration in staying motivated, even during tough times like the COVID-19 pandemic.
By finding purpose and direction, you can build resilience and stay committed to your recovery journey. Whether you're at the beginning of your recovery or looking for new strategies to support your sobriety, this episode offers valuable tips and heartfelt encouragement.
