“What is his basic trouble? Is he not really a self-seeker even when trying to be kind?” Page 61 — It took me a long time to understand that self-centeredness was not always about being selfish and wanting more. Self-centeredness is often simply about thinking only about or primarily about myself. I rarely thought of others in my life before the twelve steps and recovery. My thoughts centered on my needs, my preferences, my hopes, my dreams, and I very rarely thought about the wants and needs of others. I find the best cure for self-centeredness is other-centeredness. When I carry our message to others, I learn to think more of them and less of me. It’s a slow progress, but it works.

Help one; save two. Happy Wednesday!
