This is where I differ from many on this subject...I do not see my problem as a disease. In my view, it is an addiction. This addiction is fueled by deep issues. I'm doing my best to confront these issues.
I'm not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers here, but what exactly constitutes selfishness? At what point is the line drawn? This has always been a vague word for me and it implies some sort of negative morality on the part of the "selfish person", so I don't really care for it.
Regardless, I have to take care of myself first. No one will do it for me.
