But it’s not just the addicts—families can also be in denial, ignoring the havoc addiction wreaks on everyone involved.
Jack emphasizes that denial only keeps the addiction cycle spinning, making it harder for everyone to seek the help they desperately need. He advocates for the importance of professional support and how facing the truth is the first step towards healing. If you or someone you know is grappling with addiction, this episode sheds light on why breaking through denial is crucial for recovery.
