Do you guys blame 7 for the consequences?

Beginner Questions

No wrong answer here, just wanted to see what people's mentality is about this. I go to AA/NA meetings semi regularly and they constantly remind me that it wasnt the 7, drugs, or booze that put my life into the gutter, it was ME. They didnt make me commit fraud or get fired from multiple jobs, I did that on my own because im an undisciplined turd that takes the path of least resistance and has some deep rooted acceptance issues from my childhood but everyone's reasons are different. I see some many stories on here "7 made me max out all my credit cards" or "7 made my wife leave me" or "7 made me go through the worst withdrawals of my life" but nah man we did that to ourselves. Im sure some people actually do take 7 once a week I even know some my self but it ain't me, my brain doesn't work like that so I must remain completely abstinent. When I pay the piper I take full accountability and responsibility for my actions and never say "it was (fill in your DOC)'s fault". For the people that blame 7, how do you justify that thinking?
