it is neded to seek help for addicts; no shame in it
Catherine, the Princess of Wales has sent a message telling people with addictions not to be ashamed to get help.
Launching the Taking Action on Addiction campaign, the princess called for a more compassionate public attitude towards addicts.
This included people going through life-wrecking problems with alcohol, drugs or gambling.
She warned that negative public attitudes stopped people seeking advice and meant "people are still tragically losing their lives".
