Selfishness / Self-Centeredness

Selfishness / Self-Centeredness

The Big Book tells us that selfishness and self-centeredness are at the root of many of our troubles. That does not always mean being greedy or uncaring. Sometimes it looks like needing control, needing to be right, taking everything personally, or making every situation about what we want and how we feel.

Today we’re talking about how self-centered thinking shows up in recovery, why it can be so hard to recognize in ourselves, and what happens when we begin looking beyond “me” toward God, service, responsibility, and other people.

Recovery gives us a chance to live differently—not by disappearing, but by learning that the world does not have to revolve around us.
