I may not be much but I'm all I think about.

The egocentricity of the person with alcoholism or addiction is really startling.  This self-centeredness is a key theme of Alcohoilics Anonymous.  Getting rid of the burden of self, the concern for self, is a key component of Twelve Step recovery.  All the steps begin with ""we."  Compassion for others, concern for others, working with others are the hallmarks of successful recovery. If you are having a bad day, pick up the phone and call another recovering person and see what you can do to brighten their day.  Perhaps send someone a helpful, hopeful email.  Get out of your self.  Get over you. This is one of the oldest spiritual messages.  Stop thinking less of yourself and start thinking less about yourself.
