Does it absolve her for responsibility of her actions? No, and that's what we're saying.

Just cause Tiger is in a clinic doesn't mean he's an addict, sure. But making the leap to he *can't* be an addict becuase it's absolves him of fault. The point of rehab is usually acknowledging fault and trying fix them.

We don't *know* what Tigers problem is. Just cause Deadspin tells us more crap than we need to know doesn't mean we know everything.

I never made this leap, at least knowingly. I don't believe it absolves him of all fault. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 09:30
hell no, but it does explain them to a degree. i have no comment on Tiger, just because i don't know. - Andie Jan 20, 09:26 3
- They do have a choice. They accept powerlessness over alcohol, but they have the choice to reachout and get help to stop. - musubi Jan 20, 09:52 2

    - My understanding (and I'll gladly admit to being mistaken if I am), is that is the foundation of AA. - musubi Jan 20, 09:59
