Many moms-to-be know that using drugs or alcohol can cause all kinds of problems for their baby and themselves, but there are also all kinds of reasons they avoid treatment.

Some moms-to-be don't believe they are really an addict or alcoholic. However, it's the truth that you are an addict if you are not capable of quitting during a time in your life. If you were really not addicted, quitting during pregnancy would not be difficult for you at all.

Others may falsely believe that it is not really harmful to occasional drink or drug use. They may rationalize what they are doing during pregnancy by trying to minimize their problem. They may even give the example that they turned out fine and there mother drank/smoke when they were pregnant.
