An alcoholic, drug addict, gambler or other addict cannot recover if he is sheltered from taking responsibility for what his addictive behavior put himself and/or others into. If you consider it a disease and the person doesn't have full responsibility for his actions, you are still doing the addict no good by fixing all the messes he gets into.

Whether the MLB penalty is fair or unfair, this is the situation that Rose's gambling got himself into. Life is hard for all addicts.
