Women In Recovery While addiction is a disease that does not discriminate, it is different in men and women. There are physical differences in chemical action, and great differences in psychological effects. Women suffer a double standard. People may not consider a male alcoholic to be a failure as a father, but a woman alcoholic is automatically considered a failure as a mother. Such attitudes result in greater denial of addiction among women, greater cover up by the family, and cause lower self-esteem. Women must receive the same consideration as men; furthermore, their unique emotional problems require special attention.
