End the Stigma of Addiction Some avoid recovery programs because they could not ever say, I am an addict. There is still a widespread misconception of addiction as a moral degeneracy. Instead, introduce yourself by saying, I am a beautiful person with the disease of addiction. Realizing you are a beautiful person and that you have a disease is important in recovery and eliminates feelings of inadequacy that make people unable to cope, leading to escape into chemicals. Knowing that you have a disease eliminates the futile attempt to control your addiction through willpower. Diseases can affect everyone, even beautiful people.
