Myth vs Fact

“I would know it if I had a problem.”

Fact: Many individuals deny they have a problem. Social implications, physical dependence, altered brain chemistry, poor decision-making from use, self-medication, fear of change, shame, and guilt all make it hard to see. Facing major change is difficult, so people find reasons to avoid it — which keeps unhealthy patterns in place.
