I agree. I think he was sensible to reveal he was struggling at that moment and to talk to someone about it in order to overcome his temptation. I don't think he was trying to make others feel guilty but just trying to address his own difficulties.

It wouldn't bother me if I was drinking and someone discussed their issues as Paul did and it wouldn't make me feel guilty- I don't think that was Paul's intention either.
