The word "we" is used in the first step because it's talking about what the first (approximetly) 100 people in AA had done when the book was written. All the steps describe what they did, and suggest you do the same. It's NOT saying we "can't help each other". That's your interpretation. When people say "it's a we program" it's because we
do help each other, not because we don't.
The word "we" does not make the step hard. Its the incorrect meaning you take from reading those 13 words that makes it difficult,,,, for you.

AGAIN, why is your experience of AA so different than other peoples experience of it miami? Why?
