Because in our society, addiction and recovery are considered a man's territory. Men are given the license to openly discuss alcohol addiction and recovery. However, women are discouraged from openly drinking and therefore, their recovery remains hidden. I used to drink openly, so when I decided to recover from alcoholism, I realized that I shouldn't do it secretly."
