A lot of people say selfishness and self-centeredness are the root cause of this disease but I don't buy that theory.

The Hindu's, Taoists and Buddhists figured it out thousands of years ago:

ALL THINKING IS DELUSIONAL

We alcoholics and addicts can't afford to hold on to our delusions. We must take inventory of our motives and weed out as much delusion as we can.

If there is "one tool" that I use to circumvent this predicament it is humility (a clear recognition of what and who we really are).
