What a cynical and unhelpful view.

Yes, if a person manages to stop a cycle of recurrent bad behavior that is their fault, they should celebrate that.

They've recognized a problematic behavior for what it is, and curbed that behavior, even though their baser instincts are probably encouraging them to keep doing it. Even though continuing to do it is a lot easier in many cases than stopping it.

They've gained mastery over themselves, and that is something to celebrate. Hell, they've even managed to SEE the problematic behavior for what it is. They've managed to see it within themselves. That kind of introspective ability does not come for free, there are a lot of people in this world who never develop it at all.

I think that's something to pat yourself on the back for, no matter what it is.
