Some people need more help than others, and need more of a support system. There is nothing wrong or shameful in that. I don't think my birth Dad would be alive today and around 15 years sober without AA and the program.But I do agree that many just use the term "illness" as an excuse to keep doing what they are doing and justify it. You definitely have no one to blame but yourself then. You have to be 100% committed and accountable to yourself and your health and happiness or else no program or support is going to help.
