Me

 Me and My are words that imprison us.  These two words lock us around ourself.  Think of how many relationships you built up that start out with you talking about me and my.  No one is interested in making friends or spending a lot of time with someone else who just wants to talk about themself.  People who listen to others talking about themselves get paid to do it and for a good reason.  If someone, not paid, listens to you moan all the time about you, they generally get to feel sorry or pity you.  But they don’t become your close friend.  You become too much work for them.  So the next time you contact someone ask yourself if you started out with your problems.  If you are in AA you need a sponsor.  Bu life well-lived needs friendship and intimacy.  Hugging yourself all the time won’t do this.
