Related to my last question, where I stated that denial is a component of the addiction equation where, if overcome, the addictive behavior would cease (except where the user is suicidal).

So where does this denial come from and why is it so hard for many addicts to overcome?

What are some mental tools that one could use to conquer denial and take back their lives?
