In this podcast, we discuss the many myths and lies that alcoholics and addicts hold onto in order to justify their drinking and drug abuse.
We learn that:
- There are countless myths that active alcoholics and addicts believe in to make the world seem normal to them. Even when their reality is a dirty mess.
- These myths all support the idea that alcohol and drugs are the solution, not the problem. The problem is always something other than the substance.
- Only those who have known a low-bottom existence as active abusers can understand the feeling of zero self-respect and how hard it is to appear normal.
- A spiritual experience offers the hope of a transformation that recovering people claim has saved their sanity and their very lives.
