Substance Abuse

Is it a sign of personal weakness or strength for a woman to admit that she has a problem with alcohol or drugs?

I believe it is a sign of personal strength to admit one has an addiction. Having personally known an alcoholic. I have seen the struggle to come out of the drunkenness, and face the reality they were trying to escape. The issue of addiction is a lack of control, and to admit to yourself and others that you are out of control is a sign of strength.

  1. Hello,
    I agree that it is a sign of personal strength because you are able to admit to something that is controling your life. Also I think when people can admit to their problems they are most likely to seek help for themselves.
