"Real moral improvement requires the acceptance of blame, in order to establish responsibility and motivate one to reform. That is why alcoholics have to hit bottom before they can sober up, they are always shrugging off guilt until their failure is impossible to deny" The moral model is seldom used nowadays, Neo. The medical model is the prevalent one in most advanced societies. It is generaly accepted that being addicted to alcohol is no more "BAD" than having a stomach ulcer. Hey! But if you want to live in the past and burn them at the stakes with the witches...what the HELL! Go for it!! ;-)
