This is a very timely post for me right now, as I am struggling against seemingly slim odds of winning the many battles of life..not against naysayers or negative influence. I am struggling against my own self centeredness. Living in self reliant isolation, has made my life spiral out of control.

"...life run on self will can hardly be a success. On that basis we are almost always in collision with something or somebody, even though our motives are good." (Big Book of AA, p. 60)
