Don't feel too bad, I've been playing for three years and haven't even gotten to 3 Dan.

A big part of it is skill, but it's also luck. If you have average luck, you'll never go anywhere. If you have above average luck, you'll improve but only after a long time.

Alvin's bot, which one can argue is one of the best programmed mahjong AI ever, made its way to 2 Dan but is slowly losing ground back toward 1 Dan. It plays everything on odds, so that should say a lot about how important luck is.
