SNEAKY DENIAL
“Why could they not see that drink meant ruin to them?” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 107:3
“May your love and your truth always protect me.” Psalm 40:11
For what it’s worth: Denial is the most insidious part of my alcoholism. It blinded me from the truth about my life and my drinking. It nearly killed me. And it still can. When I’m at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, I listen closely when someone talks about a relapse. I have learned that there is always some sneaky form of denial involved. Even after years in recovery, I am still vulnerable to this treacherous devil. Each morning I beg my Heavenly Father to protect me with His love and truth.
God bless you!
