> I appreciate your comments but Id rather stay isolated for the rest of my life than go to AA. Its a very selfish program. ei, the point of 'helping' people is only to keep urself sober. Thats it.
That's a funny way to see it. People do say that helping others helps them. But isn't that true of everything? If a friend reaches out for help and you help them, it takes your mind off yourself and makes you feel good about yourself and gives you tools to solve your own problems. They also say in AA that a problem shared is a problem halved.
