The alcoholic is powerless over their drinking, so they f&$% s%$& up.
We're powerless over their drinking, so they continue to f&$% s%$& up.
Our crappy software (not accepting the things we cannot change; not changing the things we can) activates, we can't shut it down, and we f&$% s%$& up.
If the alcoholic is out of our lives, are our lives still unmanageable?
If they're still f&$%ing s%$& up, it's now not affecting us, so no.
But, if our crappy software is still activating, yes.
