I'm not saying you can't speak truth to a person in rank denial. I am saying is that you can't bully them into recovery. Another person just like them can identify with their pain and lift them out of their suffering but an outsider can't do it. That's how AA works Peer 2 peer.

Amen! To continue living in fear of knowing the Truth, ourselves (same thing) is what should scare every American and human being on this planet. 🙏🏻

Explaining to addicts that it's there social/economic environment that's killing them actually gives them something to work on. Our addiction treatment programs here just teach addicts that it's them who are sick which is why it fails so often.
