I think being judgemental is a moral failing.
I believe alcoholism/addiction is a complex physical and psychological issue, key word being Complex.
Denial is an aspect of the condition. It took me about ten years to fully realize I had something more going on than a rough patch. It took me longer to figure out what needed to be done. This is where the personal responsibility comes in, I think.
I suppose we could get into one of those dissections of the nature of Good and Evil. Right and Wrong. I'm just grateful I'm sober today.
