no, i get what you are saying. but to me, being selfish can be a good thing and a bad thing. when i was a drunk i used people and threw them away if they didnt have anything else to offer me, then move on to the next person, never giving back. but what i have found since being in the program a few 24 hours, is i got sober for myself, to go to meeting for myself, im doing all this stuff for myself, but in the process of doing those things for myself, i have the ability to help others, working with alki's and sharing in meetings. even the book says, nothing ensures amunity from alcohol then workling with another alki. isnt that selfish? but at the same time you are helping another.
i dunno, if im not selfish with my recovery how can i be of maximum service to God and my fellow man?
just my .02, now time for class.
