Addiction is largely a disease of self-centeredness. The bedrock of recovery in the 12-Step program is learning to "focus outward" and be of service to others and to G-d. Watch these inspiring videos to strengthen your outward muscles!
Addiction often has its roots in feelings of "entitlement". The world "owes me more", "I need more", "I deserve more". In recovery, we learn to be thankful for the many blessings we have in life instead of always seeing what we don't have. An 'attitude of gratitude' is crucial to recovery.
