The novel A Million Little Pieces written by James Frey, emphasises on how blaming others for his own mistakes will not help him approach his problem of being an addict. He must take accountability to his own life to get better. This relates to the book by James taking account that he is responsible for everything he has done and doesn't blame other situations for why he is an addict. The treatment center tells James that he is an addict based of a genetic disease passed down from his grandfather. However James refuses that idea and says he choses to be an alcoholic and that no one made him drink besides himself. He doesn't accuse anyone for how he ended up as an addict and he doesn't want an excuse of why he has such a bad addiction.
