Barbara S. Reeves said Addiction is not the only problem, best relapse prevention book I've read..

These changes make it difficult for an addict to learn from their experiences. Psychological processes, such as denial, and neuro-psychological processes, such as state-dependent learning, interfere with the addict's ability to retain the needed information necessary to break the bonds of addiction. This is one key trait that all addicts share - they don't "learn their lesson." This is why it's also said in t. "There are never too many steps" according to Phyllll.

This means getting honest with ourselves and facing up to the self-defeating thoughts and actions that put our sobriety at risk
