Social Taboo

I was a drug addict but fortunately
now i am recovery addict. Hero and health care organization was considerate enough to take me in.What pinches me the most is that there are alots and alots of rehablitation centeres for male addicts
but, unfortunately , there is not even a single rehab center for all girls only.

Women and girls are the ones who carry generations with them. My question is that why are they taken
for granted? Why is it considered a social taboo to admit daughters or mothers? Why is their counselling considered so bad? If someone is suffering from heart disease, he or she is immediately taken to cardiologist. If
someone has colestrol, diabetes or sugar, that someone is taken to the concerned doctors as soon as possible. Then why hide the mental illness or drug addiction.

I was the only girl in the rehab center because I am blessed with most supporting family ever, THE ONLY GIRL… it makes me wonder what is wrong with our society? Brain is the most vital part of our body that control the entire function of our body. Given that, what is so embarrassing or shameful in seeking help from the experienced psychologist or counsellors? This decade is about to finish… We are entering a new decade… 2020 is about to arrive…when will we change our thinking.

I am not embarrassed at all to tell that
i sought help and with grace of Allah almighty and with the support and care of my family. I am sober now.
I was a heroin addict but now i am working on my recovery. When car does not function properly, we take it to mechanic, get it checked and we repair it… Taking help from professionals is the logical and rational thing to do… We need to realize the gravity of this suituation and we need to change our thinking about it as it is high time to do so.
