Owning up to Alcoholism

Although alcoholism is a disease, it is very important for the alcoholic to "own up" to their part of the disease. Oftentimes when the alcoholic is in alcohol rehab, they are taught that although they have a disease, they are responsible for allowing the disease to continue. How so, you may ask? Let's look at the alcoholic that continues to blame others for their misfortune, if they continue to place blame on others, they are not taking responsibility of the part of the disease that wants the alcoholic to place blame. If the alcoholic were to assume responsibility, they are then allowed to look within themselves, understand the disease of alcoholism and move forward in a healthier way. And as a result are more likely not to relapse. Taking responsibility for the disease of alcoholism is an integral part of sustained recovery!
