The basis of the Christian message is that we are filthy sinners unworthy of God's forgiveness. Not blaming yourself is being prideful, which is a sin.

Yeah, not that crazed, bloodthirsty god who killed millions and ordered the deaths of countless innocents and allows millions of people to suffer and die to this day.

Which is precisely why a good Christian blames herself. AA is flawless, if it didn't work, it has to be her fault.

The message of Christ is "submit to me or suffer for all eternity". About as evil and wicked a message as one could ever invent.
