Atticus says that Ms. Dubose is a great lady because she quit her addiction to pills, and is still alive because of that. To quit an addiction isn’t easy and because it isn’t easy and for someone to quit takes a lot of them during the process.
"she said she was going to leave this world beholden to
nothing and nobody. Jem, when you're sick as as she
was, it's all right to take anything to make it easier,
but it wasn't all right for her. She said she meant to
break herself of it before she died, and that's what
she did."
Atticus in this quotation says that when you are as sick as her it’s ok to take something to make it easier, but since she quit that is why Atticus thinks she was a great lady. Then it also says “she said she meant to break herself of it before she died , and that’s what she did.” Atticus says that she is a great lady because he said she would do something and she did it and as it was said before to get out of an addiction isn’t easy. This is one of the reasons that make Atticus think Ms. Dubose is a great lady.
