I mean what if the persons addictions relate to a personality disorder ...

Answers:
Your still an alcoholic.
If you want to quit you will.
AA is for people that need a bit more structure in quitting.

Other Answers:
Even if the person does have a personality disorder, its still an addiction and they still need help.
when they dont want to do anything but drink, everything you do or every where you go it has to involve beer, early morning beer, in other words, wake up with a beer and go to bed with a beer, beer is more important than buying a loaf of bread lol
A rose is still a rose by any other name.Meaning? It doesn't matter WHAT caused the addiction,it needs to be treated!!
