I don't know jim, I can see why you might see that perspective on that BB quote, especially when taken out of context. Like when it is read as a stand alone quote at a meeting...
The first time I read that I was in rehab, not sleeping at all, sitting at the nurses station so I could have light to read.... Night after night.... When I got to that part of the book, I don't know, it kind of scared me... I didn't see it as something I was much interested in... well the whole rehab/recovery thing was new and very foreign to me... yea, I knew I was alcoholic and my life was unmanageable... But this whole selflessness thing, being interested in my fellows... WTF...
It comes as some relief for me now, actually, that I can read that and see the message of hope and promise that it is.
Just my perspective.
