How do I recognize when someone is in denial?

Blaming as a form of denial

Blaming other people for an individual's problems is almost a societal epidemic, and the addict is an expert. No matter the situation or what has happened, it is always someone else's fault. By blaming others, the addict avoids all personal responsibility and feels justified in behaving however s/he chooses.
