I have never read it before and probably won't because I am too busy working the Program of NA or at least trying to, at least to the best of my ability.
AA isn't for everyone and neither is NA, or SA, CA, PLA etc.
But one thing that I have to remember is that for this addict I try to be open-minded and that isn't easy sometimes. For me I can understand how you said that we have to do it ourselves. For in NA it says, "I am not responsible for my disease but I am responsible for my recovery."
No one is going to make me go to meetings, work the steps, call my sponsor, read the literature. And for me the only way that I am willing to do those things if I am doing my HP's Will and not mine. So I can relate to what he is saying although I still need YOU ALL TOO
