The Root of Our Troubles
Selfishness—self-centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles.
Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity,
we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate. Sometimes they hurt
us, seemingly without provocation, but we invariably find that at some time
in the past we have made decisions based on self which later placed us in a
position to be hurt. So our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (How It Works) p. 62

Thought to Ponder . . .
.When I choose the behavior, I choose the consequences.

AA-related 'Alconym'
I S M  =   I, Self, Me.
