e·go·ma·ni·a Obsessive preoccupation with the self.

I happen to know that the traditions are inspired, as is the big book, by God. They have been given to us as a society to hold us together. Make no mistake that there are alot of old timers, like myself, that WILL strive to keep hold our local groups to the traditions and keep focused on our primary purpose. I will give any non-alcoholic a schedule of NA, GA, CA, OA, MA, ect.... meetings and show him the door.

Dan, no games to be played. Just like to let you know, that I know that you don't know.
I see an awful lot of "I", "self", "me". Your "ism" is showing.

Would you care to explain this a little further? I don't understand how ANY group, and what they do or don't do, can affect your sobriety?
Actually, no. I do not care to explain any further.

Also, ego-mania is basically love of self. How can you begin to learn to love yourself when the entire book is geared to getting rid of self? Self love got me here.
See definition of ego-mania above. There is a BIG difference between loving yourself and being an ego-maniac.
