Why hide alcohol addiction?

Posted by Australia ETA on January 17th, 2022

 Even today shame is a very present emotion in addicted women . Accepting that I have a problem with alcohol can be related to accepting that there are things in my life that do not fulfill me, accepting that I do not feel strong enough to change and for this reason I prefer not to show my problem.

The shame increases if the woman has family, friends: “I shouldn\'t feel bad; I have to take care of others; I should be very happy with what I have.\"

All these prejudices make it very difficult for both women and their families to recognize that there is a hidden alcohol addiction that needs to be treated. Taking the big step of asking for help is the first step in leaving shame behind and beginning to solve alcoholism problems. ?????? ?????????? ?????? ??????
