Alcohol Use Disorder affects many people worldwide. Often, people affected by Alcoholism may find themselves trapped in denial, unable or unwilling to acknowledge the extent of their alcohol dependence.
In our chat, on Friday the 26th of April at 1 pm with Timmy Joji (Clinical Psychologist) and representatives from Alcoholics Anonymous, we will be looking at why denial can be a common defence mechanism and an obstacle to seeking help. We will discuss the signs and symptoms of Alcohol dependency, as well as the impact it can have on our overall well-being. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or a loved one, you can ask questions, share insights, and learn from others during this chat.
