Chris and Danny discuss what denial is more like when it comes to addiction (delusion), what prevents you from admitting that your loved one has a problem and why it's so important to be honest.

The Why Intervention Podcast is aimed at helping family and friends feel supported and encouraged that recovery from addiction is possible, for themselves as well as their loved ones. You'll hear how to affect positive change in their life and help your loved one begin a successful recovery. Host Christopher Doyle shares his insights, talks with experts and interviews people who have gone through recovery.
