My apologies for focusing in on one thing. There are plenty of good points in this but you are misrepresenting the concept of alcoholism and responsibility.

We take responsibility for our actions, not for being an alcoholic. As you say, one would not take responsibility for having Crohn’s disease. But if you stole from people, or abused them physically, or performed an unnecessary hysterectomy to get money for drugs, while suffering from Crohn’s disease, you would have to take responsibility for those things as part of your recovery.
