I think it is a sign of personal strength if women admit to having a drug or alcohol problem. To admit to having a problem takes a lot of courage. Many people want to hide or deny they have a problem. This makes it very difficult to treat. When someone admits to having a problem that is the first step in making a change. They are more willing to seek help and are compliant with their treatment plan. Their chances of recovery are increased compared to those who don't think they have a problem. Those people who don't own up to it tend to continue hurting themselves. It is a very sad situation. Anyone who is willing to admit to it shows me that they are courageous and care for themselves and their loved ones. There is no way I can feel that this is a weakness. Admitting to a drug or alcohol addiction is the hardest thing anyone can do, but it is the most beneficial and I applaud anyone who does so.

I agree with you. Admitting you have a problem is a sign of strength. It is the first step in getting through that problem.
ReplyDeleteI cannot agree with you more! I quit smoking 4 years ago, and the addiction was horrible to overcome. I cannot imagine what it would be like to overcome alcohol or drug addiction. Very well written blog!
ReplyDeleteI agree. it takes much strength for a women to admit that she suffers from substance abuse. Many people often make excuses for their problems. Others often deny their addiction.Although I have never experienced substance abuse, I commend each and every women for knowing when she has an addiction and taking action to her addiction.
