A Selfish Program

I heard it twice this week at anniversary meetings no less, "This is a selfish program
I have a blue book with the title Alcoholics Anonymous on the cover. It tells me that selfishness is the root of all my trouble, it further goes on to say I must be rid of this selfishness or it will kill me. I have written enough inventory to see that this is my experience.

A friend of mine says it is a program of enlightened self interest, which is a lot different. It implies my ongoing recovery is directly related to how willing I am to give away what I have been so freely given.

AA is a selfless program for incredibly selfish people.
