Knowing that alcoholism isn't a moral failing or weakness but an actual chemical process in the body is helpful to me. Being told by the founder of Rational Recovery to my face that I was an immoral person for continuing to drink knowing I was an alcoholic didn't help me at all. I'm not immoral. I'm having a chemical reaction. Understanding this helped me a great deal. The fact that brain plasticity has a role in both addiction and recovering from addiction helps me more than believing a supernatural being can help me get sober.
