I think it is a strength for a women to admit she has a problem with alcohol or drugs. It takes a very strong individual to admit they have a problem. There are too many people that will not ever admit they are an alcoholic but yet they have to have a drink from sun up to sun down. Some will not admit they are a drug addict but yet they sniff everyday. I believe that is the first thing they try to put in your mind that you have to admit you have a problem. If that is never done, then the problem may not be corrected and you may not ever stop what you are addicted to. The person has to be honest with yourself, that is what it boils down to. Of course it cannot be easy, but it has to be done especially if you want to recover. What they have to understand is that it effects everyone around you, especially yourself. No one can really help you get out of the situation until you want to make that change.
I think if I had a problem with alcohol or drugs, I would admit that I had a problem. I would want to help myself as well as all of the people involved in my life. Maybe it is easier said then done, especially since I have never been in the situation.

I agree, it does show strength to admit to a drug or alcohol problem. Like you said, you have to first admit it to yourself or you will never be able to receive the help you need. I think that is is easier said than done, because I have never been in that situation either.
Christina,
You are absolutely right that it takes strength to admit you have a problem. I have a cousin who is really struggling with drugs. She keeps getting in trouble, has been to jail, but still will not admit she has a problem. My aunt and uncle have made several efforts to get her in rehab, but she refuses to stay. I think it definately takes a strong person to overcome the hold drugs have on them and seek out help.
