Selfish and self-centered is what all of us have become as a result of having our problem and not doing anything about having it, and letting it have it's way with us. At first we all liked doing this, but eventually this catches up to all of us being like this. That's because when we're doing this we're going against the grain, and because of that we end up fighting everybody and everything. For most of us when this has happened we don't even know why it seemed like we were always having to be fighting something. Recovery will uncover this for us, and show us ways in which we can get rid of being like this. When we do, we found out we actually like not being like this any more, because it's so much easier to just go with the flow with things. When we do this we'll have so much more energy, because we're no longer wasting it and our time on having to be fighting something any longer.
