Abstrakt: Because A.A. encourages alcoholics to attribute past alcoholism to external forces rather than personal characteristics, it enables alcoholics to develop a positive self-image, redirect blame and assuage guilt. This absolvement of responsibility for past behavior, combined with present responsibility for accepting the help necessary for future abstinence, can lead to continuing abstinence.
