It's often said, "Denial is a symptom
of the disease of alcoholism."
Of course, it's one thing to deny being an alcoholic
when one has never had a drink.
It's an entirely different story when one denies it
while wondering what he did during a blackout,
(or where his rent money went, how he got that black eye,
or who dented his car),
or why coffee makes him nervous in the morning,
even before he has his first cup.
This is where the alcoholic needs to be honest
and admit to what alcohol is doing to him.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
DENIAL = Don't Even Notice I Am Lying.
