Denial has been called Don't Even No I Am Lying. Denying to others and to ourselves that we are powerless over alcohol and that our lives are unmanageable is ironically the chief symptom of a problem that we claim not to have. Denial was an interesting word to define my behavior since what I was really doing was outright lying. I would lie to my spouse that I had more than two drinks on the way home from work and I would lie to my friends that I had only had two drinks at the party because anyone that would engage in the insanity I chose to call having a good time must have had ten drinks. I lied all the time. I lied so much that I could not differentiate the true from the false. I did not even know I was lying.
