This quote goes to core of my disease, even though I've heard that we in AA use it differently than Shakespeare intended.

If I'm lying to myself or others, I am not being true to myself.

If I am self-seeking--acting out in ways to get you to act the way my ego wants so that it feels secure--I am not being true to myself.

If I am acting out in pride--allowing my feelings to be hurt based on what you say to me or how you act--I am not being true to myself.

I am only being true to myself if I am being true to God and not true to ego.
