To get out of self-pity do some service work. Work with another alcoholic. It is the foundation stone of our (AA) recovery. Helping those who suffer, not only helps you get out of self, but can be humbling. When proactively doing something productive, you have less time indulging in self-pity, selfishness, self-reliance, and all the other forms of self that tend to get us in trouble.
