Willingness for recovery is different than willingness for relief.
Willingness for recovery persists indefinitely as recovery is a process followed by a state that must be maintained.
Willingness for relief is effective only for as long as relief is provided; As soon as the going gets tough, the willingness evaporates.
Guilt-based willingness also evaporates as soon as the guilt abates, and the drinking, using, or acting out resumes.
