If you’re in AA or NA chances are you’re familiar with the term “terminal uniqueness.” It can be a brutal condition to be dealing with when trying to get sober.

In this episode Dawn, shares how she has made it to 6 months of sobriety as a mother of three.

We also discuss terminal uniqueness which basically is when we focus on the differences and not the similarities. I have been culpable of this many times, and I am working on being cognizant of how to avoid this.

Here are some of the key reasons why terminal uniqueness is so dangerous.

• It allows people to ignore the likely consequences of their actions
• It provides a false sense of security
• It divides the world into me and them
• It means that the individual will be unwilling to believe that treatments that help other people can help them
• It leads to the individual thinking that they are either worse than everyone else, or that they are better than everyone else
• It prevents the individual from seeking help for their problems
• It can be a barrier to communication
• It leads to feelings of loneliness and desperation (isolation)****
